Will Artificial Intelligence Place Trademarks On Life Support? – IP In Brief

#artificialintelligence

My co-authors were Christine Strutt of Von Seidels in Cape Town, South Africa and Francine Ward of the Law Office of Francine D. Ward, Palm Desert, California. The article published by INTA in its February 9, 2022, Bulletin, explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is replacing trademark's function in brand selection. Here is a summary of the article. Traditionally, trademarks were shortcuts, identifying and distinguished goods in the marketplace in response to a buyer's needs and self-selected criteria. Trademarks have also protected against human frailty by alleviating confusion, imitation, disparagement and misrepresentation. AI is altering a consumer's browsing, selection and purchasing process.


The AI Summit Series

#artificialintelligence

At a time when AI conferences were geared towards research & academia, the AI Summit launched in 2015; the first-ever conference & exhibition globally to explore what AI practically means for enterprises. Partnering with IBM Watson, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, PwC and Intel among many others, we took the world's business community by storm in London, San Francisco, Singapore, Cape Town, Tokyo and New York City. Now with six sold-out conferences and exhibitions running annually, a global media site and a members-only collaborative forum, The AI Summit Series brings together over 20,000 representatives from the world's leading organisations to engage in meaningful conversations on how to prepare for an AI-powered future.

Developing countries are being left behind in the AI race – that's a problem

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much more than just a buzzword nowadays. It powers facial recognition in smartphones and computers, translation between foreign languages, systems which filter spam emails and identify toxic content on social media, and can even detect cancerous tumours. These examples, along with countless other existing and emerging applications of AI, help make people's daily lives easier, especially in the developed world. As of October 2021, 44 countries were reported to have their own national AI strategic plans, showing their willingness to forge ahead in the global AI race. These include emerging economies like China and India, which are leading the way in building national AI plans within the developing world. Oxford Insights, a consultancy firm that advises organisations and governments on matters relating to digital transformation, has ranked the preparedness of 160 countries across the world when it comes to using AI in public services.


Using artificial intelligence to create new inventions is rewriting the rules on patent law and intellectual property

#artificialintelligence

Fortunately, the search proved successful. But it wasn't a human who found the promising molecules. It was a machine learning program. One compound has been patented under the name Halicin in homage to HAL, the artificial intelligence (AI) in Arthur C Clarke's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Halicin works differently from existing antibiotics, disrupting the bacteria's ability to access energy, and researchers hope bacteria may struggle to develop resistance to it.


Artificial Intelligence - Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology law

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a suite of technologies that are experiencing a renaissance moment. No longer merely a dream of computer scientists, AI is now widely deployed in a variety of applications. Our focus is "African AI" – AI that is developed in Africa and/or by African developers for use within the African context or primarily for African users. By researching AI tools, products, trends, policies, and impacts, we seek to contribute to the conversations that will help to positively steer the development and impact of AI. In particular, we seek to contribute to the definition and pursuit of responsible AI.


Analysis, Characterization, Prediction and Attribution of Extreme Atmospheric Events with Machine Learning: a Review

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Atmospheric Extreme Events (EEs) cause severe damages to human societies and ecosystems. The frequency and intensity of EEs and other associated events are increasing in the current climate change and global warming risk. The accurate prediction, characterization, and attribution of atmospheric EEs is therefore a key research field, in which many groups are currently working by applying different methodologies and computational tools. Machine Learning (ML) methods have arisen in the last years as powerful techniques to tackle many of the problems related to atmospheric EEs. This paper reviews the ML algorithms applied to the analysis, characterization, prediction, and attribution of the most important atmospheric EEs. A summary of the most used ML techniques in this area, and a comprehensive critical review of literature related to ML in EEs, are provided. A number of examples is discussed and perspectives and outlooks on the field are drawn.

Nabla opens a health tech stack for patient engagement – TechCrunch

#artificialintelligence

After setting out to examine digital healthcare from the inside by launching its own women's health clinic as an app last year, French startup Nabla is executing the next step in a planned pivot to b2b -- announcing today that it's opened its machine learning tech stack to other digital health businesses and healthcare providers so they can offer what it bills as "personalized medicine". Nabla's AI-powered patient communications and engagement/retention platform is designed to support clinicians to deliver a more continuous, data-driven service, whether the client is offering real-time telehealth consultations or delivering a service to patients via asynchronous, text-based messaging. Nabla's messaging and teleconsultation communication modules sit as a layer atop the customer healthcare service, ingesting and structuring patient data -- with its machine learning software supporting clinicians with real-time prompts and visualizations, as well as offering ongoing patient outreach features to extend service provision. The startup argues its approach can improve medical outcomes by supporting healthcare professionals to be able to ask relevant questions during a consultation, based on the AI's ability to aggregate patient activity and surface contextually relevant data -- and afterwards, with features like automated transcription and by suggesting updates a clinician could make to a patient's medical file. It likens the platform's capabilities to having a really attentive family doctor who knows their patient's full medical history and situation -- and has a fault-less memory for all that detail.


The Best Sci-Fi Movies on Prime Video

#artificialintelligence

Prime Video is playing host to a vast range of sci-fi stories, from the absolute classics to the hidden gems more people need to watch. One of those is Coherence, widely regarded as the best hidden sci-fi gem out there. How cool and intriguing is that title? Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is a low-budget time travel comedy from Japanese filmmaker Junta Yamaguchi. The wild premise: A café worker discovers his TV can show him what happens 2 minutes into the future.
