Why is the founder of Creative Commons pushing to let AIs patent inventions?
If you follow intellectual property policy, you may have seen the somewhat surprising news that longtime IP reformist Larry Lessig has come out in favor of letting AIs be awarded patents. Patent expert Matthew Lane makes an opposing case:
We are already seeing this flood of content from AI text and art generators, and it should be pretty easy to train an AI model on a body of research and ask it to spit out patent applications. If those applications could be filed with little human intervention, then well-resourced patent filers could quickly and easily crowd out entire fields.
You can find some excellent context from Mike Masnick at Techdirt, too.
No, AI should not be an inventor
