TRACK: IP Trends and Successful Practices
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ubiquitous in describing the next-generation of interactive technologies. In light of the pervasive view that AI will enhance practically every aspect of our business and personal lives (and to some degree, already is), tech transfer offices have a distinct challenge in understanding how AI can be applied to various technology sectors while maximizing IP strategies that make sense for a university. Further, there will also be challenges regarding policy, regulation and privacy concerns, as many aspects of AI will diverge from traditional models. During this session, we’ll discuss AI-related terminology, challenges in IP protection, trends in licensing amd acquisitions, and privacy concerns for AI engines and AI-related technologies across multiple domains.
