Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property

Abstract This book explores artificial intelligence (AI), which has become omnipresent in today's business environment: from chatbots to healthcare services to various ways of creating useful information. While AI has been increasingly used to optimize various creative and innovative processes, the integration of AI into products, services, and other operational procedures raises significant concerns across virtually all areas of intellectual property (IP) law. Thus, AI has drawn extensive attention from IP experts globally and there have been some works on specific issues in the intersection between AI and IP. Surprisingly, however, there has not been a book providing a broad and comprehensive picture from the perspectives of the very nature of AI technology, its commercial implications, its interaction with different kinds of IP, IP administration, software and data, its social and economic impact on the innovation policy, and ultimately AI's eligibility as a legal entity. The book aims to fill the gap.
