Session 01: Does Intelligence Equal Competence? Navigating Artificial Intelligence in the Practice of Law - Artificial Intelligence may be embedded in tools, or may even be a tool itself, that helps lawyers better meet client needs. But, it is no different than other conventional tools and technologies used by lawyers—they must be used in conjunction with a lawyer’s duty to provide competent representation. Session 02: IP Considerations for Generative AI - My company is at the edge of technology: we use generative AI for software development to invent a new product. Should and can we file a patent application naming the generative AI as an inventor, and what patenting strategy should we adopt? What are the IP implications of using open source software (OSS) to train the generative AI or if the generative AI itself is an OSS model? ​Session 03: Inventing Tomorrow: A Guide to Claiming and Patenting AI Creations - This presentation covers various topics on patents in AI including: why we should pursue patents in AI (open source vs. IP rights), how we can claim an AI invention (target, detectability, eligibility), and additional thoughts on the future landscape of AI patents.
