  • 1. GITAM (deemed to be University)

Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how intellectual property (IP) is created, managed, and protected. As AI technology advances, it raises important questions about the ownership of inventions and creative works made by AI, as well as the role of human creators in these processes. This paper explores the impact of AI on IP law and policy, focusing on the emerging trends that are reshaping the IP landscape. It examines how AI challenges traditional IP concepts, such as authorship and patentability, and the legal implications of AI-generated inventions or artworks. The paper also discusses how legal systems are adapting to address these challenges and proposes potential reforms to ensure that IP law remains relevant in an era of rapid technological innovation. Overall, this paper aims to provide insights into the evolving relationship between AI and IP law and highlighting the need for new legal frameworks to handle these changes effectively.
