The relationship of inventions, names, content and designs to intellectual property rights, less than clear to most people, has been complicated by the emergence of artificial intelligence.
How are investors, creators, inventors, lawyers and others incorporating generative and other forms of AI into their work? Can current IP rights be relied upon to protect creators, owners and the public in an AI-driven world?
In S3 Ep8 of CIPU’s Understanding IP Matters podcast, two leading IP educators discuss the impact of AI on IP and the potential influence of IP on AI.
Daryl Lim is H. Laddie Montague Jr. Chair in Law at Penn State Dickinson Law and an affiliate of the Center for Socially Responsible Artificial Intelligence at Penn State University. Megan Carpenter is Dean of the University of New Hampshire’s Franklin Pierce School of Law. She speaks internationally about entrepreneurship, branding, and the arts.
The episode title is entitles, IP & AI: Lessons for Students, Businesses and Governments, and it is available on most podcast platforms and here for your listening pleasure.
From Madeleine Key’s summary review on Ep8 in IPWatchdog:
Daryl Lim: “It’s trendy to bash IP in law schools. There’s something about it that resonated more strongly with the Napster generation, when it was a difficult or expensive to access music and movies.
“The idea that you’re almost having this civil disobedience by accessing
pirated material seemed to resonate with students and the faculty… I think that has shifted in some ways in the copyright space. It’s more towards the center now. What I’m very concerned about is the patent space.”
Megan Carpenter: “There is huge opportunity is in the undergraduate space. It’s absurd to me that in a typical undergraduate education, you have to take a certain number of science classes and liberal arts classes to get your program of education.
“But in general, there is no requirement in most universities that you need to take a class focused on the legal frameworks within the life you live every single day!
“Somewhat our own fault, law schools have been somewhat isolationist. We have not looked at legal education in a broad sense. There is a need not just for what you’re talking about in the context of professional graduate legal education, but also in undergraduate education and increasingly public high school education.”
