Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, encompassing everything from natural language understanding and pattern recognition to complex problem-solving and decision-making.

Intellectual property (IP) rights have long been the backbone of innovation and are crucial for fostering innovation by protecting the rights of creators and inventors. However, as AI advances, the legal frameworks surrounding IP rights are being pushed to their limits. Patents and copyrights are designed to protect human inventiveness and creativity but the unique characteristics of AI-generated inventions raise new questions. One such challenge is determining who owns the IP for inventions created by AI.

Today’s episode talks about AI and how this groundbreaking technology is reshaping innovation and how it relates to IP rights, with a specific emphasis on patents.
