ABSTRACT
The integration of Law and Technology forms new opportunities and challenges in the legal realms. Artificial Intelligence is such a technology which has created new paradigms in the legal world especially for Intellectual Property Rights regime. The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence technologies in industries like transportation, education, healthcare, space, and other emerging fields of technologies is leading to gradual rise of legal complications and complexities, with respect to the fundamental intellectual property issues like ownership of inventions or creations, authorship, inventorship, etc. Therefore, this paper would be significant in bringing out the legal relevance of Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property dealing with their interactions in the creative and innovative endeavours specifically in copyright and patent regimes. The current state of treating Artificial Intelligence as to its nature of work with and without significant human contribution is relied for the granting of copyrights as well as patents. It would encompass the contemporary stance of legislative and judicial paradigm in the emerging contours of Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property referring to specific countries like USA, UK, EU, Japan, India, etc. The jargon between Artificial Intelligence and its impact on copyright and patent laws and policies with the contemporary developments and case studies would show case the current realities and challenges of the integration of Artificial Intelligence and intellectual property rights. A brief reference to intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Trademarks is also provided in the paper. But specifically, the copyrights and patents are the types of the intellectual property that imply innovative and creative aspects which are the inherent qualities and capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, therefore requiring adaptation in view of the advances that are taking place in the technological domains. The Artificial Intelligence developments within their legislations and judicial interpretation so to accommodate Artificial Intelligence within the Intellectual Property framework. The accountability general and primary as a normative concept, which set of standards for the assessment of the activities of everyone. Understanding the significance of accountability and responsibility in AI is often defined imprecisely in reference to the practices and measures entangled and multifaceted nature of accountability and responsibility. To incorporate the AI mechanism, we need to create a structured AI governed by a sociotechnical system with framed rules and regulations. The definition of accountability and responsibility in case of AI is problematic reason behind where the laws are minimal focus and exist to define and ascribe accountability, rule and regulation is less developed. The concept of AI Accountability and responsibility is polysemic in nature is difficult to define . As there is no general agreement about the standards for such behaviour of quantification henceforth it is difficult to take into account of AI accountability. In given societal norm accountability is seen as a institutional arrangement of system in which an every actor will be held to account for his action before the forum.
