New Title: Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property
PLI Press is proud to announce the publication the brand-new treatise Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property.
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have rapidly evolved from experimental curiosities to pivotal drivers of innovation, creativity, and economic growth. In fields ranging from healthcare to entertainment, AI systems are generating outputs that challenge traditional notions of authorship, inventorship, ownership, and liability. Today, legal practitioners, scholars, businesses, and governments worldwide are grappling with profound questions: Does AI-generated work qualify for copyright protection? Can an algorithm be considered an “inventor” under patent law? How do we protect data when AI systems rely on massive datasets? Who is held responsible when AI-based decisions infringe on IP rights or cause tangible harm?
Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property provides an authoritative, yet accessible, resource for those navigating these uncharted legal waters. AI & IP explores the intersection of AI and every branch of intellectual property, offering insights that can guide future legal reasoning, policy making, and practical decision making.
A team of experts addresses a wide range of topics, including:
- Copyright and AI
- Patents and AI
- Trade Secrets and AI
- Trademarks and AI
- Privacy Regulations Applied to AI Technologies
- Right of Publicity and Personality with AI
- AI and Defamation
- Liability Issues Arising with the Use of AI
- Ethical Considerations and AI
- The Future of AI and IP Law
Each chapter can stand alone for a focused dive into its specific area, but taken together, they form a cohesive examination of the ethical, legal, and practical dilemmas that AI brings.
