Truth on the Market

Artificial intelligence is “technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy.” AI will play an increasingly important role in driving innovation and economic growth. Strong patent protection can incentivize AI-related inventions and the transmission of AI-specific technological improvements throughout the economy.
Accordingly, the Trump administration may wish to focus on developing a robust AI patent policy as a key part of its economic growth agenda. Specifically, it might consider supporting efforts to strengthen legislative protection for patents in general, and to eliminate unwarranted regulatory barriers to AI development.
