Artificial intelligence systems, which perform tasks with commands recorded through codes, are being included in every aspect of our lives day by day. Today, it is used quite frequently, especially in the fields of automotive, video games and finance/economics. In recent days, the right of robots developed with artificial intelligence to be inventors has been discussed.
Dr. The artificial intelligence called DABUS, developed by Stephen Thaler, can suggest many ideas and inventions thanks to its excellent equipment. Dr. Thaler had repeatedly applied for a patent on behalf of DABUS and was rejected. The British court also ruled that artificial intelligence lacks human rights because it is developed with software, so it cannot be a patent owner.
Dr. Thaler was also denied on appeal:
According to the latest decision of the Australian Federal Court, DABUS will be seen as the inventor, but the owner of the patent, the developer of DABUS, Dr. He would be accepted as Stephen Thaler. Dr. The UK Patent and Intellectual Property Office removed Thaler from the registration process when Thaler refused to submit its patents under its own name. Thaler sued the Patent Offices, lost the case. Thaler, who refused to accept the refusal, appealed and lost again. Judge Elisabeth Laing in the Appeal stated that artificial intelligence can only have basic human rights, that it can only be granted to one person, as patenting is a legal right.
Talks about artificial intelligence rights have been coming up frequently lately and will undoubtedly continue to come. We will sit down and see how far the artificial intelligence discussions will go.
The United States had refused, Australia had affirmed:
The debate on whether artificial intelligence can be an inventor, which has been going on for weeks, had come to a head with the approval of Australia. But a few weeks later, the United States rejected the same application on the grounds of the inventor’s definition in the law.
