CIPIL Spring Conference
Saturday, 29 March 2025 - Faculty of Law, 10 West Road, Cambridge
"Is AI transforming IP?"
Chair: Sir Richard Arnold (Lord Justice of Appeal)
For the last few years, lots of attention has been paid to AI and IP. The Supreme Court has already considered whether AI can be regarded as an inventor. There is also on-going litigation, in various jurisdictions, on whether training AI systems with copyright material infringes copyright, in what circumstances the outputs might infringe; as well as when, if at all, AI-generated content, designs or other outputs might be protected by intellectual property rights and, if so, for whose benefit. While these are important questions, of course, that involve the application of the existing understandings of the law to new factual scenarios, this conference moves beyond them to focus on: (i) what AI reveals about existing law; and (ii) how AI might be changing IP, altering the legal tests with which we have become familiar, as well as the assumptions that underlie them – and what the implications might be.
