This lecture is from the course Generative AI for Business.
In this lecture we review the legal complexities surrounding generative AI and intellectual property rights, and offer businesses crucial guidance for risk mitigation and informed implementation of this transformative technology.
Here we explore the legal landscape surrounding generative AI and intellectual property rights, including the debates about AI's potential to hold patents.
We address the critical steps businesses should take to mitigate risks when implementing generative AI, such as understanding IP ownership in specific contexts, familiarising themselves with AI usage terms, and developing internal IP policies.
The lecture also touches on the nuances of employer-owned IP and potential exceptions.
By providing insights into these complex issues, this helps businesses with the knowledge needed to navigate the evolving legal terrain and leverage generative AI while minimising associated risks.
