ABSTRACT
There have been rapid advancements in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector. It is very much possible for AI to replace the work done by humans and can also help in enhancing various aspects of human life. AI can be used in many fields like education, engineering, business, medicine etc. As these advancements follow there is a need to protect these specific set of technologies. Providing a legal framework for AI has become an important topic. Otherwise, it could lead to duplication of technology which can reduce the incentives to invest in technology. However, it is not easy to develop legal framework on this and establish rules regarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) because of the complexities that are present in the work that has been generated by AI, ownership of the original work and who would hold the patent. In this research paper, we look into the current framework that is there for Intellectual Property Rights and AI. Strategies that can be adopted to harmonize the innovation in Artificial Intelligence and their legal protection. We look into the jurisdictions in advanced economies like USA, Japan and Europe and analyse how they implement laws regarding the protection of latest technology and how those practices could be implemented in India in an efficient manner. We also look into how a proper legal framework and IPR are important for a country’s economic growth through technological advancements and the reasons on why it is important. Through this study we analyse and contribute towards the wider discourse on the alignment of intellectual property policies with emerging technologies in an evolving global economy.
