Artificial intelligence (“AI”) has quickly gone from a plot point in classic Hollywood films, such as Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Terminator and Pixar’s Wall-E, to being ingrained in nearly all aspects of modern life. Artificial intelligence and its subfields of machine learning and deep learning drive industries such as pharma, robotics, financial services, insurance, computer and consumer hardware and software, medical devices, green energy, autonomous vehicles, consumer appliances and automotive. Put simply, AI improves businesses, products, and customer experiences. With AI now entrenched across industries, protecting AI innovations and securing the ability to leverage AI innovations have become essential considerations for companies.
Blockchain technology is often associated with cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, blockchains’ inherent benefits of transparency and fairness have led to the technology moving into diverse industries where such benefits are well-suited, such as data security, finance, and healthcare. As a nascent technology, blockchain will continue to see significant innovations ripe for protection in accordance with existing and emerging intellectual property laws around the world.
