In the era of globalization, the Artificial Intelligence has emerged as the most accepted technology with its application in various fields throughout the globe. The companies developing these Programmes endeavour to make their presence more known by carrying out more innovation and automation in technological and digital business. The present research proposal is aimed to study the intellectual property (IP) issues in relation to AI in digital medium. As an incentive to technological innovation and to reap the benefits of investment, it is essential to own and protect the Intellectual Property in all innovations. The ownership of intangible aspects of software innovation and protection of the data that forms part thereof, is a difficult question, the answer to which still remains behind a smokescreen. Different IP protection mechanisms recognized under various international documents are examined in this research for exploring the better and effective protection for AI and AI-based inventions. Protection of data is an important aspect and critical component of AI as its functioning mechanism is based upon machine learning techniques that use data for training and validation. With this research the authors paint a picture of the various difficulties encountered while looking for effective data protection measures. This research is an attempt to assess the efficiency of IP laws for protection of the data which forms part of AI technology, when the same is made the ‘subject’ of digital trade. It also aims to check whether any new policy measures are required under existing IP system for effective protection, due to revolution in digital world. The present study focuses on the aspect that any new or existing policy in IP should encourage the free flow of data for uninterrupted functioning of AI without affecting the right to privacy or security. |
