AI & Intellectual Property: Towards an Articulated Public Domain
AI & Intellectual Property: Towards an Articulated Public Domain

New peer reviewed research article: ‘AI & Intellectual Property: Towards an Articulated Public Domain’.

Link SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3409715

Res Publicae ex Machina (Public Property from the Machine)

Building upon the doctrinal body of knowledge, the article introduces a new public domain model for AI Creations and Inventions that crossed the autonomy threshold (i.e. no sufficient amount of human intervention that can be linked to the output): Res Publicae ex Machina (Public Property from the Machine). It includes examples.

Intellectual property framework AI systems

Besides that, the article describes the current legal framework regarding authorship and ownership of AI Creations, legal personhood, patents on AI Inventions, types of IP rights on the various components of the AI system itself (including Digital Twin technology), clearance of training data and data ownership.

Compact Artificial Intelligence & IP overview analysis

Main goal of this research is to offer an accessible, relatively compact Artificial Intelligence (AI) & IP overview analysis and in doing so, to provide some food for thought to interdisciplinary thinkers and policy makers in the IP, tech, privacy and freedom of information field.

European Parliament votes in favour of the new EU Copyright Directive
European Parliament votes in favour of the new EU Copyright Directive

Today, the European Parliament voted in favour of the new EU Copyright Directive. This controversial IP legislation passed with 348 in favour, 274 against and 36 abstentions. Within 2 years (medio 2021), the Directive has to be implemented in the copyright legislations of the member States. However, articles 11 (now 15) and 13 (now 17) will do the EU internal market more harm than good.

Copyright expertise

Artificiële Intelligentie & Recht managing partner and IP lawyer Mauritz Kop delivered copyright expertise to the European Parliament during the legislative process.

Intellectual property law has become the new battleground for ideas on how the Digital Single Market strategy should deal with transformative innovation such as online platforms, big data, quantum computing and artificial intelligence. This potentially hinders rapid innovation and undermines the competitive position of Europe vis-à-vis China and the United States.

Consumer rights and competition/ antitrust law

Consumer welfare can be protected more effectively by consumer rights and competition/ antitrust law than by IP law. The introduction of additional rights (art. 15) results in an even more overcrowded and overgrown legal landscape, which could result in stagnation and legal uncertainty.

Legal Status of Robots and AI in Healthcare - Symposium Academy Het Dorp
Legal Status of Robots and AI in Healthcare - Symposium Academy Het Dorp

On December 3, 2018 our office Artificial Intelligence & Law delivered the lecture 'The legal status of smart robots: legal personality, intellectual property and fundamental rights'. On the occasion of the Symposium on robotisation and eHealth in the pharmaceutical industry, organized by Academy Het Dorp and Proeftuin Robotica. The central theme of this seminar on healthcare regulation was: Can you hold a robot liable in case of damages?

How should we deal with liability in robotics?

The following questions were addressed: Should robots equipped with AI have a separate legal status? How do you - as a developer/supplier and consumer/user/patient get a grip on liability for autonomous machines and artificial intelligence algorithms? How do we safeguard ethical principles and fundamental human rights? Who owns intellectual property rights in smart robots and copyrights on computer and AI generated works? How should we deal with liability in robotics?

What are the main requirements for AI systems in Healthcare?
What are the main requirements for AI systems in Healthcare?

Main barriers to adoptation of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare.

Absence of a specific AI law, or clear legal framework from the perspective of both professional users (A) and patients (B).

When constructing such a framework, it is important to make a distinction between the various sub-areas of healthcare, such as research and development, professional care providers and recipients of care. Because each sub-area has different needs.

Barriers for professional users.

It is simply unclear for companies and private and academic research institutes in the medical sector what is and is not allowed in the field of AI, blockchain, computer & machine vision and robotics. Both at European level and at national level. This knowledge is important for the commodification of their inventions/creations. Two practical examples are permission from Farmatec and obtaining a CE-marking.

Requirements for sustained use of AI in healthcare.

Since traceability and transparency are key within any healthcare (and food-feed) system, blockchain could play an important role in sustained use of AI in healthcare.

A EU AI Directive or Regulation should be able to implement and/or adhere to principles of Eudralex (The body of European Union legislation in the pharmaceutical sector), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP) in particular.

AI Impact Assessment | Netherlands
AI Impact Assessment | Netherlands

The AI ​​Impact Assessment offers entrepreneurs, data scientists and software programmers a concrete code of conduct with which AI can be safely implemented. The Artificial Intelligence Impact Assessment was developed by the Dutch ECP | Platform for the Information Society. The AI ​​Impact Assessment is a guide for the application of artificial intelligence. Through a practical checklist from a legal, technical and ethical point of view.

Code of Conduct Artificial Intelligence

The starting point of the AI Impact Assessment is the Code of Conduct for Artificial Intelligence. This code of conduct forms the basis of the AI Impact Assessment framework. The Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct consists of two parts: common European ethical and constitutional values (i.e. liberty, equality, fraternity), legal principles and democratic preconditions, as well as practical rules and codes of conduct for AI applications, deep learning algorithms and autonomous systems.

Risk and safety assessment tools

The AI Impact Assessment is related to other risk and safety assessment tools such as the Privacy Impact Assessment, Algorithmic Accountability and Responsibility & Transparancy by Design. We see the same logic in the Asimov Three Laws of Robotics, the IBM Watson AI Guidelines (Everyday Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, A practical guide for designers & developers) and the 23 Asilomar AI principles. The AI Impact Assessment also has a guide function, and provides a similar moral compass.

AI Impact Assessment: checklist voor toepassing artificiële intelligentie

Het AI Impact Assessment biedt ondernemers, datawetenschappers en softwareprogrammeurs een gedragscode waarmee AI veilig geïmplementeerd kan worden. Het Artificial Intelligence Impact Assessment is ontwikkeld door het ECP|Platform voor de InformatieSamenleving. De AI Impact Assessment is een wegwijzer voor toepassing van artificiële intelligentie. Via een praktische checklist op zowel juridisch, technisch als ethisch vlak.

De uitvoering van de AI Impact Assessment wordt bij voorkeur begeleid door een daartoe gespecialiseerd jurist.

Risico-inschattingsinstrument

De AIIA vertoont verwantschap met andere risico-inschattingsinstrumenten zoals de Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA, ook wel Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) of gegevensbeschermingseffectbeoordeling (GEB) genaamd). We zien eenzelfde logica terug bij de 3 Robotwetten van Asimov, de IBM Watson AI Guidelines en de 23 Asilomar AI principes. De AIIA heeft eveneens een gidsfunctie, en een vergelijkbaar moreel kompas.

Leidraad voor verantwoorde implementatie van kunstmatige intelligentie

De Artificiële Intelligentie Impact Assessment (AIIA) bevat een overzichtelijk stappenplan met 8 stappen, aan de hand waarvan bedrijven inzichtelijk kunnen maken welke juridische en ethische normen van belang zijn bij de creatie en toepassing van AI-systemen en smart robotics. Ook maken de AIIA en de Gedragscode Artificiële Intelligentie helder welke motieven en beweegredenen de basis vormen van de te maken keuzes en beslissingen tijdens het AI implementatietraject. Dit maakt het gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie en slimme algoritmes transparanter.

Algemene Voorwaarden in Nederland, België, Duitsland, Zwitserland, Europa en de Verenigde Staten
Algemene Voorwaarden in Nederland, België, Duitsland, Zwitserland, Europa en de Verenigde Staten

Functie van algemene voorwaarden

Wat zijn algemene voorwaarden nu eigenlijk? Het zijn gestandaardiseerde sets bedingen die onderdeel uitmaken van een overeenkomst. Omdat het onderdelen van een overeenkomst zijn, gelden voor algemene voorwaarden grotendeels dezelfde wettelijke regels als voor andere overeenkomsten. Na ondertekening van een overeenkomst waarin de toepasselijkheid van algemene voorwaarden wordt bepaald, zijn algemene voorwaarden onlosmakelijk verbonden met de gesloten overeenkomst.

De Nederlandse (en overigens ook de Europese) wetgever heeft met betrekking tot algemene voorwaarden een aantal bijzondere regels opgesteld. Die regels gelden dus naast de algemene contractenrechtelijke regels.

Grootste verschillen tussen de rechtssystemen: Europese traditie

Wat geldt er in verschillende landen van de EU inzake algemene voorwaarden?

De basis: algemene voorwaarden zijn gestandaardiseerde sets contractbepalingen. Zoals bij iedere ovk het geval is, vinden ze toepassing via de weg van aanbod (terhandstelling) en aanvaarding (akkoord door wederpartij). Kernbedingen, dat wil zeggen de hoofdzaken van de overeenkomst, waaronder de omschrijving van de te leveren diensten of de te verkopen producten en de prijs, zijn NOOIT algemene voorwaarden.
