BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 24. One of the key
topics of discussion is the legal status of artificial intelligence
systems, MP Hijran Huseynova said at the roundtable “Innovation
Potential: Intellectual Property + Artificial Intelligence” on the
occasion of World Intellectual Property Day, Trend reports.
MP stressed that some experts believe that artificial
intelligence should not be regarded as a separate legal entity, but
merely as a tool or a commodity. According to another approach, the
ability of artificial intelligence to make decisions independently
calls for a more in-depth examination of its legal status.
”However, the question of whether artificial intelligence can
create patentable inventions is also the subject of serious
debate,” she emphasized.
“The rapid spread of artificial intelligence raises new and
complex issues in the field of intellectual property,” she
added.
According to her, artificial intelligence intersects with
intellectual property in various ways:
“The question of who is the actual owner of products created
using these technologies has already become a hot topic of
discussion. While traditional legal approaches are based on human
creativity, the involvement of artificial intelligence blurs these
boundaries. Artificial intelligence intersects with intellectual
property in various ways. Strategies in this area have been adopted
and implemented in many countries around the world.
In Azerbaijan, as part of the Artificial Intelligence
Development Strategy for 2025–2028, a legal and institutional
framework is being established in this area, and regulatory
mechanisms are being developed in response to new challenges,” she
pointed out.
