Is AI Sentient Software? Redefining Intellectual Property

Is AI Sentient Software? Redefining Intellectual Property

Join us in this IP in the News segment of the Passage to Profit Show – Road to Entreprenuership, where we delve into the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights. We explore the intriguing case of Mr. Stefan Thaler from Missouri, who claims that his AI program, DABUS, possesses sentience, blurring the lines between human and machine creation. Our discussion revolves around the evolving landscape of intellectual property, as AI programmers seek protection for their software-generated inventions. We examine the legal challenges arising from the traditional requirement that inventions and creations must be attributed to a human creator.

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of The Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with entrepreneur guests Dave Albin from Firewalk Adventures, Courtney Peebles from Solobotoys and Alex Neist from Hostage Tape from episode #213 from 10/8/23.
