Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining popularity and business value. This is why providers of AI solutions are looking for protection of that value as well as for their other tangible assets. Legal practitioners around the world are seeking ways to protect these assets, and the regime of protection of business or trade secrets is a likely avenue to achieve this goal. In addition, the protection of AI and AI algorithms on the basis of intellectual property will be discussed: are copyright and patent adequate concepts and instruments to protect the value of AI algorithms? How do you control and protect data? Algorithms as well as smart service solutions should not be open to hijacking attacks, in particular in times of cyberwarfare.
