Overview (Program Summary)
Humans have created artificial intelligence machines and their artificial intelligence machines have created valuable inventions and creative works. But, thus far, the U.S. Copyright Office has refused to register works authored by artificial intelligence and the U.S. Patent Office has refused to register inventions created by artificial intelligence. The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Greenberg Traurig, LLP whose attorneys, Joel Feldman and Robert King, will present “Out of the Bot Thinking: The Legal Battle to Recognize Artificial Intelligence as Valid Patent Inventors and Copyright Authors”. This program will explore the question of whether Congress and the courts should allow the patent registration of these inventions and copyright registration of these works, including one AI pioneer’s journey through the courts.
