The second session for Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence initiated by the World Intellectual Property Organization will be held online on July 7, 8, and 9 at 13:00-15:00 which maybe extended until 16:00.
Recently, the European Patent Office denied two patent applications where AI systems were designated as inventors on the ground that an inventor designated in the application has to be a human being, and not a machine.
Be that as it may, is patenting or licensing of AI works really needed in the modern era? Would it be more beneficial to humankind? And if it is more beneficial, how can AI works be protected? If they cannot be patented, in what other way they may be protected?
On the other hand, how can we, as humans, be updated and protected by the fast pacing world of AI’s if they indeed can have a mind of their own capable of inventing or creating things considering that the applications for patents have been denied as the law requires that a human must be designated as an inventor but the fact remains that AI can create something?
