With an ever-increasing deployment of artificial intelligence technologies, the ways in which these advancements are affecting the practice of law are becoming more pronounced. Generative AI, which utilizes vast data pools and intricate deep-learning models to produce high-quality text, analyses, images and other content, is especially central to this discussion.
The evolving landscape of intellectual property litigation concerning AI is now receiving significant judicial attention. A key question courts are grappling with is whether specific conventional forms of AI training could constitute IP violations. In parallel, government bodies are also striving to determine whether the output generated by AI is protectable under existing legal frameworks.
In this context, the observations of Robert Hill and Kathryn Keating at Holland & Knight and Meghan Ryan at Southern Methodist University carry significant weight. They argue that while courts will determine the legalities of AI in the realm of intellectual property, it will be up to government agencies to establish regulations concerning the protectability of AI-generated output.
