    Interventions on the WIPO conversation on intellectual property (IP) and artificial intelligence (AI) : third session
    (2020-10-21) Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology (CIPIT)
    These comments and recommendations from the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology law (CIPIT) focus on the uses and limitations of Artificial Intelligence as it applies to Intellectual Property. Availability of data and having access to the data is paramount to having free flow of technologies between countries; a protectionist system would hinder the process. The quality of the data also requires consideration. The use of AI in administration may assist in decreasing time taken to do such things as trademark searches in the database, however, such usage still requires human intervention, especially in interpretation and application of results.

    WIPO conversation on intellectual property (IP) and artificial intelligence (AI) : response from a Global South perspective
    (2020-07-23) Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology (CIPIT)
    The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the global forum for intellectual property policy, services, information and cooperation. The Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT) suggests priority items/issues when developing a regulatory framework or policy around Intellectual Property (IP) and AI. In regards to the WIPO conversation (July 2020), concerns were raised on the probability of protecting data used to develop AI inventions and whether measures will promote access to, or increase the protectionist approach to data. As well, depending on the nature of the innovation, CIPIT questions whether data subjects can claim contribution to innovations.
