Summarize

Stephen Burns appears live on BNN Bloomberg to discuss how intellectual property and policy makers are responding to AI. Stephen says:

  • Policy makers are grappling to understand the intersections of the law and AI—and balance AI’s benefits and challenges as a new and complex business tool.
  • AI accelerates innovation, but it also needs to be fed information to learn. This creates an intersection between the rights of those whose information is being used to train AI and the rights of accelerated AI innovation.
  • Countries are looking to align their economic interests, national security and strategic interests and IP laws into a framework to enable AI innovation.
  • For copyright and the training of AI models, three different regimes are emerging in the United States, Asia and Europe.
  • Stephen says one of the big policy questions right now is, “What level of innovation are we prepared to protect that is created by humans, versus what level that is solely created by machines?”
