Redefining Artificial Intelligence
How intellectual property practitioners view the coming wave of artificial intelligence, from benefits and barriers to responsible AI.
The guardians of the IP practice
The interplay between IP, AI and the wider legal industry is complex.
While AI is well-suited for the legal sector, it is also challenging to piece together. IP and AI have something in common: intellect. At the most basic level, IP captures and rewards intellect; AI attempts to emulate it.
How intellectual property creators, owners and protectors see AI is important. These perceptions shape the development of AI-based technology. IP practitioners are not passive recipients of information. They are the coarchitects, pioneers and careful stewards of the future state of the profession.
Benefits, risks and adoption
Perceptions of AI invariably shape how it can be used. Surveying stakeholders across the IP ecosystem suggests a prevailing discomfort towards adopting AI technologies.
While the potential applications for AI are vast, IP professionals are currently focused on incorporating AI into low-risk, automatable tasks that are heavily supervised. Across the board, the least desired AI use case was for IP prosecution and PTO interaction.
Laying the foundation for AI in IP
Creators of AI systems seek to emulate and model human intelligence. Yet, trying to simulate human reasoning is complex. Intelligence is highly contextual, and expert knowledge is tacit and difficult to capture.
Advancements in AI bring about significant changes and improvements to the delivery of IP services:
Automation of routine tasks
Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness
Enhanced access to legal information
A tool to assist, not replace, substantive expertise
Transformation of roles and traditional tasks
Improved decision-making
This report addresses perceptions of AI and focuses on the benefits, risks and appetite for its integration in the IP lifecycle.
