Report on AI Perception & Integration in IP

The guardians of the IP practice

The interplay between IP, AI and the wider legal industry is complex.

While AI is well-suited for the legal sector, it is also challenging to piece together. IP and AI have something in common: intellect. At the most basic level, IP captures and rewards intellect; AI attempts to emulate it.

How intellectual property creators, owners and protectors see AI is important. These perceptions shape the development of AI-based technology. IP practitioners are not passive recipients of information. They are the coarchitects, pioneers and careful stewards of the future state of the profession.

Laying the foundation for AI in IP

Creators of AI systems seek to emulate and model human intelligence. Yet, trying to simulate human reasoning is complex. Intelligence is highly contextual, and expert knowledge is tacit and difficult to capture.

Advancements in AI bring about significant changes and improvements to the delivery of IP services:

Automation of routine tasks

Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Enhanced access to legal information

A tool to assist, not replace, substantive expertise

Transformation of roles and traditional tasks

Improved decision-making
