Delighted to speak with members of Texas’ Tarrant County Bar Association and Texas A&M University School of Law‘s faculty and students on “#IP Trends in #AI Law – Domestic and International Treatment.” We had a wide-ranging discussion on legal developments, geostrategic developments between the US and China, and the importance of a national AI-IP strategy.

Photos (clockwise): speaking about how Massachusetts Institute of Technology‘s AI identified a powerful new drug that can kill many species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers called it “halicin,” after the AI system from “2001: A Space Odyssey”; with Texas IP Alliance representative Sophia Sakupwanya, Tarrant County Bar Association IP Section Chair Jeff Slattery, and Professor Peter Yu; receiving a token of appreciation from Mr. Slattery, a group photo with attendees.  United States Intellectual Property Alliance – USIPA Penn State Dickinson Law #intellectualproperty #law #legal #school #university #china #students #strategy #technology
