Looking forward to participating in C-IP2's 2021 Fall Conference next week. Details below and here: https://cip2.gmu.edu/2021-fall-conference/ __ After decades of promises, AI is making headlines again, DeepMind can beat the best human players at nearly any board game, Autonomous vehicles are coming soon, AI can be an inventor (at least in some countries), the singularity is near. How much of that is true, what is AI currently capable of, and what is possible in the near term? Join us this October 13-14 at C-IP2‘s 2021 Annual Fall Conference as experts from industry and academia discuss the current state of AI, what is coming soon, the current laws regarding the protection of AI and IP, and what is necessary to keep pace with technology! This year’s Annual Conference is structured around Professor Ryan Abbott’s forthcoming edited volume Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence, which is being funded in part by a C-IP2 Da Vinci Grant. Professor Abbott has assembled a top-notch group of scholars working in the field, a number of whom will present versions of their chapters at the Conference. Coupled with the dynamic pairing of Jaron Lanier and Grimes for the Keynote Conversation—moderated by C-IP2 Faculty Director, Professor Sean O’Connor—and industry leaders, the Conference dialogues will be informative and thought-provoking. Join us for an exciting and informative event featuring panels covering the current state of the art in AI and how the various types of IP rights interact with AI in diverse and sometimes controversial contexts––such as authorship of AI-generated works, changing inventive step analysis, data and text mining exceptions, deep fakes, and more. The conference will be streamed online via Zoom from George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School in Arlington, Virginia. We hope to see you there!
