Patent Law: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Patents

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? The term artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer-implemented approaches to emulate human decision-making structures to enable computers and machines to process and solve problems largely independently. An essential tool for being able to arrive at independent solutions is the ability of an AI system to learn. This ability is referred to as machine learning. In this process, the AI system learns because of examples to be able to generalize given patterns after the learning phase is complete.
