The Future of Copyright in the Age of Artificial Intelligence offers an extensive analysis of intellectual property and authorship theories and explores the possible impact artificial intelligence (AI) might have on those theories. The author makes compelling arguments via the exploration of authorship, ownership and artificial intelligence.

The first report in a new flagship series, WIPO Technology Trends, aims to shed light on the trends in innovation in artificial intelligence since the field first developed in the 1950s.

AI technologies have the potential to revolutionize various industries, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment. They can automate repetitive tasks, enhance decision-making processes, improve efficiency, and enable the development of innovative products and services. However, the rapid advancement of AI also raises significant challenges and implications for intellectual property rights". "AI systems generate valuable outputs, such as creative works, inventions, and data-driven insights. These outputs can be subject to intellectual property protection, which grants exclusive rights to the creators or owners of the intellectual assets. Intellectual property rights encompass various legal mechanisms, including copyright, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, which are designed to incentivize innovation and creativity"-"As artificial intelligence continues to advance, the challenge lies in striking a balance between fostering innovation and protecting intellectual property. The future will require a nuanced approach that encourages creativity while addressing the ethical and legal implications of AI-driven inventions" "In the era of artificial intelligence, intellectual property rights will be at the forefront of the innovation landscape. The evolving nature of AI raises crucial questions about ownership, accountability, and the need for adaptive legal frameworks to safeguard the rights of creators and innovators in this rapidly changing landscape"

This edited volume provides a broad and comprehensive picture of the intersection between Artificial Intelligence technology and Intellectual Property law, covering business and the basics of AI, the interactions between AI and patent law, copyright law, and IP administration, and the legal aspects of software and data.

Argues that treating people and artificial intelligence differently under the law results in unexpected and harmful outcomes for social welfare.

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made tremendous advances in the last two decades, but as smart as AI is now, it is getting smarter and becoming more autonomous. This raises a host of challenges to current legal doctrine, including whether AI/algorithms should count as ‘speech’, whether AI should be regulated under antitrust and criminal law statutes, and whether AI should be considered as an agent under agency law or be held responsible for injuries under tort law. This book contains chapters from US and international law scholars on the role of law in an age of increasingly smart AI, addressing these and other issues that are critical to the evolution of the field.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming economies, societies, and geopolitics. Enabled by the exponential increase of data that is collected, transmitted, and processed transnationally, these changes have important implications for international economic law (IEL). This volume examines the dynamic interplay between AI and IEL by addressing an array of critical new questions, including: How to conceptualize, categorize, and analyze AI for purposes of IEL? How is AI affecting established concepts and rubrics of IEL? Is there a need to reconfigure IEL, and if so, how? Contributors also respond to other cross-cutting issues, including digital inequality, data protection, algorithms and ethics, the regulation of AI-use cases (autonomous vehicles), and systemic shifts in e-commerce (digital trade) and industrial production (fourth industrial revolution).
