| 9.30 – 10.00am | Sneak Peek – Live Stream of GFIP session “The Crossroads of IP: Man or Machine in the Age of AI? 2023 was undoubtedly the breakout year for artificial intelligence with the advent of Generative AI. In the preceding five years, more than half a million AI-related patent applications were filed in the US alone. AI is projected to contribute up to US$15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Whilst AI continues to power innovations and transform the way we work and live, the technology has also raised several questions regarding the traditional application of IP laws. Various stakeholders stand gathered at the crossroads of AI and the IP regime as the development of AI reaches an inflection point. Might AI be recognised as a creator? Must creators only be human? Is it tenable for the IP system to continue supporting AI innovation while holding on to the tenet that only human beings can be inventors, designers, authors and creators? Join us as this plenary discusses the multi-faceted issues contemplating the IP system in the age of AI. | |||||||||||||||||
