Newman Inn & Rich Inn on AI & IP

Delighted to join the Pauline Newman Inn of Court and the Giles Rich Inn of Court for their joint event on AI and IP. Terry Rea (Crowell & Morning) ably moderated a lively session featuring remarks by USPTO Director Andrei Iancu, Dan Spulber (Northwestern Management), Yeen Tham (IBM), Cam Gatta (Microsoft), and me.
I spoke about global trends in AI, the most important factors to obtaining IP protection globally, and the specifics of obtaining and enforcing IP. IP practitioners need to be away of how training data raise privacy and antitrust concerns. National IP offices have an important role to play in leading harmonization efforts. AI adoption will move at the speed of trust: geopolitical trust, trust between national governments and the governed, and between shareholders and their companies. IP issues in text and data mining, authorship and ownership, inventorship, disclosure liability for all forms of infringement, and algocracy will be issues to watch in the coming years.
Paraphrasing Churchill, I concluded by noting that “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Thanks to Debbie Yellin (Crowell & Morning), Alex Sofocleous (USPTO), Christine Behncke (USPTO), and IU Law (Bloomington) student Richa Patel for a great session.
