AI is breaking patent law

Over the past few years, more and more inventions have involved AI. AI helps design drugs, develop vaccines, and discover new materials. Its widespread use poses a challenge to the existing patent system . Because the old patent law assumed the inventor was a human being. If courts and governments decide that inventions created by AI cannot be patented, this will undoubtedly have a huge impact, will reduce the enthusiasm for using AI for research and invention, and human society may miss out on important AI inventions. Commenting on the Nature website, two UNSW researchers propose a solution: Rather than adapting old patent laws to new situations, a new AI patent law, AI-IP, could be designed to protect AI inventions , countries should also develop international treaties to ensure that new AI patent laws adhere to standard principles and ensure effective dispute resolution.
