INTRODUCTION

In the arena of IP law, one of the main areas of development is the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and IPRs. It appears that after much, if selective, debate, it is becoming more and more relevant in practice due to the burgeoning AI market, a growing body of case law, and legislative and international organizations (like WIPO and EPO) pursuing policy changes^[1].

Symbols, names, images, designs, and other works of art that are produced by the mind and are legally protected are all considered forms of intellectual property. But using AI to create and use IP also brings up a host of moral and legal issues, including data protection, ownership, patentability, and copyright infringement. In particular, in domains like facial recognition and predictive policing, there are worries regarding the possibility of prejudice and discrimination in AI systems. In many industries, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game-changer that is redefining how humans work, communicate, and use technology.
