AI AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: LEGAL CHALLENGES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Abstract

The intersection of artificial intelligence and legal frameworks is reaching a stage where updates to the laws are necessary to align with technological progress. AI is advancing quickly, and there is a potential for it to assume numerous human roles, including significant aspects of the legal profession. Attorneys and their teams dedicate significant time to comprehending and formulating Patent claims. Considerable hours are invested in researching and evaluating the novelty, utility, and non-obvious characteristics of the products and processes for which a claim will be submitted. The process of obtaining a patent incurs considerable costs. Incorporating AI into the entire legal process could significantly reduce the time and costs associated with it. This paper has explored how traditional notions of Intellectual Property are being pushed to their limits in response to the disruptive effects of the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. In other terms, providing Intellectual Property protection to outcomes generated by Artificial Intelligence ultimately undermines the core principles of Intellectual Property law. Ultimately, this study bridges the gap between legal frameworks, management strategies, and humanistic perspectives, underscoring the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary challenges.
