Part of our series The IP in AI.
With the expanding popularity of ML and AI systems, developers and investors expect those systems to be protected from unauthorised use by others.
Providing suitable protection to encourage and reward investment in the creation of intellectual property – but balancing that against the rights of the public to use those creations – is one of the core aims of the intellectual property system.
Striking this balance correctly has proved difficult in this emerging area of technology, and considerable uncertainty remains in legal systems around the world as to the extent of protection afforded to ML and AI systems.
For more on the developing area of intellectual property protection and risks for AI and ML systems, follow our blog series The IP in AI.
