Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the way we innovate, create and do business, bringing unprecedented opportunities alongside new intellectual property (IP) challenges. From protecting AI technologies and managing training data to understanding the ownership and use of AI-generated content, the relationship between AI and IP is becoming increasingly important for innovators and businesses alike. This fact sheet provides an overview of the EU legal and policy framework governing AI and IP, highlighting the key considerations for AI developers and users to effectively protect, manage and commercialise intellectual assets in the age of generative AI.
