Episode Details

Here we discuss the complex issue of AI-assisted inventions and its implications for patent law. Robert Plotkin presents three perspectives on AI's role in invention, highlighting the challenges to traditional understandings of inventorship. Commenters offer rebuttals, arguing that AI itself cannot be an inventor and raising concerns about the legal definition of an inventor and the implications for future inventions. The debate centres on whether AI is merely a tool or a collaborator in invention, and who should be legally recognised as the inventor in AI-assisted creations. The discussion also touches on the legal implications for other non-human legal entities in patent law.
