Description

So ISAIL.IN (the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law) and the Himachal Pradesh National Law University Shimla’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property Rights joined hands and collected some survey data from two key stakeholders of an essay competition conducted by HPNLU Shimla:

• Participants (Students and Scholars) – 31 Responses
• Reviewers (Professionals and Practitioners) – 17 Responses

What did we document? Their intellectual property law perspectives around AI.

We believe while such results bear no direct recommending value, the documentation may help anyone understand the intellectual property law perspectives around AI, from the perspectives of these 2 kinds of stakeholders as they are described above.

Hence, the first segment of the documentation shall feature responses by the participants, while the second segment shall feature responses by reviewers.

Why Do We Document?

Enforcing AI standards in the Indian and Indo-Pacific market is hard and it requires us to collect data and inputs associated with the market tendencies around three facets of artificial intelligence: its adoption, research around it, and its real-life policy implications across as many sectors as possible. In fact, in the lingo of public policy, there are 3 types of realities that markets, government institutions and technical stakeholders face:

• The knowns (something that we know)
• The unknowns (something that we don’t know)
• The unknown unknowns (something that we don’t know that we don’t know)

Any documentation that we produce remains open access under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license and is free to be used for research purposes, provided that it is explictly cited (attributed).

Since ISAIL.IN as a trust is a community, no documentation published is guided by commercial expectations. All outcome documents that we produce are guided to provide some tangible data, anecdata and inputs on the state of market practices around the adoption of, research in and the impact of AI.
