The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review
Abstract
Use of artificial intelligence in recent years has grown exponentially with rapid developments in AI technology. Accordingly, recent innovation has taken advantage of AI technology in the research and development of new inventions. This has already raised many issues, one of which being the question of, “Can an artificial intelligence be an inventor for the purposes of a patent application?” The recent ruling in Thaler v. Vidal gave us an answer, which was a resounding “no”. Since then, there has been much debate concerning exactly how much AI can assist with the invention process without crossing the line to become an “inventor”.
