I would suggest instead of viewing AI as the creator, it should be viewed as a tool, and the person/team who built the AI as the true creators.

- alistairSH 5y agoIsn't that effectively what this outcome does? The AI is listed as the creator, but the patent is held by the person that crated the AI. IANAL, but doesn't that mean the Dr Thaler has the legal rights to the patent? South Africa has become the first country to award a patent that names an artificial intelligence as its inventor and the AI’s owner as the patent's owner. Edit - I not claiming this is the correct result. Just looking for clarification on what this means, legally speaking.
- pfundstein 5y agoNo, what I'm saying is that the AI is a tool which its creators use to create the invention, nothing more. It doesn't get listed on the patent in the same way other tools don't.
