Artificial intelligence is breaking patent law
- fnordpiglet 4y agoThis feels like a non issue. A human being directed the AI, and they are using a tool in discovery of an invention. It’s not like the AI woke up one day with a brilliant idea and decided to patent it - a significant amount of human directed activity drives these inventions and they are the inventor. These attempts to anthropomorphize current AI are a bit absurd. They’re very powerful tools, but in all respects they are still tools used by humans. Discussing the rights of tools is a waste of time, and trying to say the tool is the inventor rather than the person wielding the tool in search of discovery is ludicrous. That may change in the future and it’s useful to question if we are there yet periodically, but IMO we are very far away from that day.
