PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This volume sets out to provide a comparative analysis of a pivotal topic in the evolution of Industry 4.0, namely the regulation of intellectual property for products or services that utilize artificial intelligence (AI). The advent of AI has prompted a reconsideration of fundamental questions in the field of law. These fields of inquiry pertain to the authorship of AI systems and the protection of data. The former concerns the question of whether AI systems should be accorded autonomous legal recognition. This necessitates an investigation of the accountability of AI systems and their economic viability. The latter addresses the potential for the comprehensive exploitation of data resources available online by AI, within the constraints of copyright, design, and trademark protection, as well as under the moral rights framework.
