Intellectual property is still relevant Last week, I argued intellectual property was no longer relevant. This week, I argue the opposite. Despite the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, intellectual property (IP) rights continue to play a crucial role in fostering innovation and protecting creative works.

Here are three reasons why I think intellectual property no longer exists in its current form in the AI era: Blurred lines of authorship and inventorship in intellectual property AI systems can now create content and develop solutions that rival human-generated works. This capability blurs the lines between human and machine-generated content, creating significant challenges to traditional concepts of authorship and inventorship. When an AI system creates a piece of art or develops a new formula, determining ownership becomes complex. Is it the AI itself, the ... Read More

If you were writing Oprah’s questions, what would you ask? Need some prompts? Here are the questions perplexity suggested. These began at a 6th-grade reading level before I polished them: How do you think robots and computers will change our everyday lives in the next 10 years? What are some big problems that companies developing AI face, and how are they fixing them? Can you tell us about a time when ... Read More
