AI & IP: protection strategies and ownership considerations

In a podcast sponsored by Adams & Adams, we focus on intellectual property protection strategies and ownership considerations for artificial intelligence.

James Davies and Vishen Pillay, partners at at Adams & Adams in South Africa, joined Managing IP senior reporter Rani Mehta to discuss:

• How have different African countries' patent offices, courts and legislators approached the issue of whether AI can be an inventor?
• What kind of ownership uncertainties can AI create?
