'The Big Sunday Show' highlights Elon Musk's upcoming interview with Tucker Carlson warning about the dangers of A.I.. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has launched a process that could determine whether artificial intelligence systems can get full or partial credit as inventors of new ideas that win patent protection. USPTO on Monday announced it would hold a "listening session" on this question in early May, and is accepting public comment on whether AI has now become so advanced that it should somehow be credited as an inventor when it produces an idea that has yet to be conceived by mankind. The question of whether and how to credit AI for new inventions is one that has emerged over the last few years. In 2019, USPTO asked for public comment on whether AI is now so advanced that federal laws need to be rewritten in order to protect inventions from "entities other than natural persons."

The day is coming--some say has already arrived--when artificial intelligence starts to invent things that its human creators could not. But our laws are lagging behind this technology, UNSW experts say. It's not surprising these days to see new inventions that either incorporate or have benefitted from artificial intelligence (AI) in some way, but what about inventions dreamt up by AI--do we award a patent to a machine? This is the quandary facing lawmakers around the world with a live test case in the works that its supporters say is the first true example of an AI system named as the sole inventor. In commentary published in the journal Nature, two leading academics from UNSW Sydney examine the implications of patents being awarded to an AI entity.

The uprising of Artificial Intelligence machines (hereinafter referred as "AI") is a popular and intriguing subject for many science fiction works. The advancement of AI machines and their progression with respect to playing a significant role in our lives has increased exponentially in the past few years. The future possibilities of this technology has stirred a hornets' nest of innumerable possibilities. As we witness AI machines overlapping with Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), it gives rise to many questions concerning legal discipline. When the earliest substantial work in the field of Artificial Intelligence was concluded in the mid-20th century by the British logician and computer pioneer, Alan Mathison Turing, nobody could have imagined that there will be an attempt towards an assimilation of technical solutions created by an AI machines into the scope of patent law.

It is a crazy world we live in. Technology has taken the world by storm. In my opinion, it is the best thing that has ever happened since sliced bread. From lab-grown meat to autonomous vehicles, the possibilities are just endless. How have you adapted to the disruptions so far?

The European Union's Patent Office has issued a new ruling rejecting two patent applications submitted on the behalf of artificial intelligence programs. The two inventions were created as part of a multidisciplinary research project organized at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. The researchers used an artificial intelligence called DABUS, or'device for the autonomous bootstrapping of unified sentience.' The European Union's Patent Office has rejected two patent applications submitted on behalf of an AI, saying patents can only be granted to human inventors DABUS created two unique, usable ideas that were submitted to patent office: the first was a new kind of beverage contained; and the second was a signal device to help search and rescue teams locate a target. According to a report in TechDirt, the EU's Patent Office rejected both applications'on the grounds that they do not meet the requirement of the EPC that an inventor designated in the application has to be a human being, not a machine.'
