At the Dubai AI Week organized by the DUBAI FUTURE FOUNDATION, Prof. Andrea Stazi participated in a session on “#AI & #IP: #Fine #Line #Between #Industry & #Creativity”, with Lidia Kamleh, Edward Salmon and Lukasz Alwast.
Here is a summary of some of the issues he discussed in the debate:
With AI, the #relationship between technology and IP is more complex than ever.
The #David #Guetta example, where AI was used to create lyrics and a voice in the style of Eminem, illustrates a #new #model of #creativity.
This model involves an iterative, dynamic process of 1. #conception, 2. #prompting, 3. #generation, 4. #refining, and 5. #deployment, where a human plays a crucial role.
However, #regulatory #approaches around the world are #diverging – think of the #USPTO guidelines which limit protection to human works v #UK protection of computer generated works – and questions arise about how to protect creativity on the one hand and investments on the other.
To craft a balanced IP policy framework, we must carefully reconsider the key features of #authorship, the interplay of #idea and #expression, the essence of #creativity and the proper way to protect #investments.
#Rethinking #copyright from this perspective can #incentivize both the development and creative application of AI while #upholding the #fundamental #principles of copyright for human authors and #promoting broad #access to AI-assisted works.
