Barry Solaiman & I. Glenn Cohen), https://doi.org/10.4337/9781802205657.00018) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare technologies involve a wide variety of AI innovations that could potentially qualify for intellectual property (IP) protection, corresponding to multiple forms of protection. In addition, protection for AI raises novel issues that may require modifying existing laws. This chapter examines how current IP law applies to human-generated AI creations and policy issues that should be considered as organisations and countries re-examine IP policy. After this brief introduction, section 2 provides an introduction to IP, section 3 details AI in healthcare to better understand IP issues and section 4 addresses issues AI owners will likely encounter in IP strategy. Finally, section 5 addresses policy issues for lawmakers to consider.
