Abstract/Description:

Artificial intelligence is vastly changing the way technology is designed and developed. For example, devices that were once designed by humans are now being designed by machines. Among others, the chapter addresses the following topic and questions—what impact, if any, should this have on the patent system? And should a device designed by a machine be patentable? The role of patent law with AI entities is the major focus of the chapter.
