FICPI comments on AI and inventorship

AI and inventorship

Can AI be an inventor?

Closer to AI can be inventor

AI can already be the sole contributor to an invention; the patent system must respond

What it says

FICPI's comments argue AI is or will be capable of generating inventions as the sole contributing entity, beyond inventions merely made with AI's help, and that patent law needs to address protection for them. Other FICPI material states AI itself cannot be named as an inventor. (Submission to a patent office, not a formal resolution.)

Patent attorneys warn the 'human inventor' rule may not fit what AI can already do.
