var doc = app.activeDocument;
var originalSelection = doc.selection;
// Use AI-based background removal
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.backgroundLayer;
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
// Run "Remove Background" AI action
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
desc.putString( stringIDToTypeID( "algorithm" ), "background" );
executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "removeBackground" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
