AI and Patents
I read an article recently about how AI can break the patents-related laws(I will not give the URL but you can probably find it by searching the mentioned keywords) and I was as expected disappointed.
The article was a strong push that countries should regulate and create laws to cover this void and to grant patents for AI-generated stuff too because otherwise, no one will invest in the AI sector.
First of all, I think these kinds of articles that praise patents are just paid boost of certain narratives(also known as propaganda). IMO patents are a rich men’s game.
Why I am saying that? Because the story is that they somehow protect the inventors but in reality, they only protect monopolies from the competition.
If it was about the individual being protected, then you couldn’t sell them(non-transferable rights), which is not the case.
Dismantling patents would only help the general population since it will increase competition if there’s no patent protection. There were some countries that flirted a bit with this idea example: China / Russia (Russia which recently decreed that outside software licensing is null). But in the case of Russia is just a necessity and is not outright abolition of this practice.
