There’s three weeks to go until the #IAMLive IP and Emerging Technology Europe conference in London on 6 March. The agenda is looking packed and there is still time to register to make sure you don’t miss HLK expert Louise Perkin (nee Handley) speaking on the ‘Generative AI: a revolution for the IP profession?’ panel, as well as the other sessions on the busy agenda.      The panel, which also includes Scott E. Schneider, Nellie Simon and Chris Hardee, will explore how experts are integrating AI tools to boost the productivity of under-resourced IP departments – but why it could all go wrong if not handled with care. They’ll likely touch on these topics:    Embedding tools and solutions into your IP department  Generative AI as a trade secret risk  How not to be replaced by AI    Find out more about the conference here: https://lnkd.in/eUGeQRZ8    #IAMLiveIPEmergingTechnologyEurope #IPEmergingTechnology2024 #ImagineBetterAI #GenerativeAI 

Intellectual Property (IP) has become a critical asset for businesses in today’s knowledge-driven economy, and it is often much more than a financial exercise. In the Ciarb-IPOS IP & Tech Dispute Resolution Conference, sponsored by AlixPartners, we discussed the IP landscape in Singapore, the common challenges in IP valuation, and how the use of AI tools can produce more efficient valuation, accurate and timely IP valuation.

The Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, human rights, democracy, and the rule of law marks the FIRST INTERNATIONAL treaty of its kind with legal binding power. 😀 To effectively govern AI now and in the future, our societies must establish a comprehensive array of technical, legal, and socio-cultural standards that are suitable for AI's diverse applications across different societal and economic contexts worldwide.🌎 Thus, the Framework Convention is NOT A STAND ALIONE INSTRUMENT but a significant milestone in crafting a governance framework for AI. This ensures that everyone in our societies can reap the benefits of AI systems, contributing to innovative societies and economies, while upholding and reinforcing the protections for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Adopted on 17 May 2024 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, it will be open for signature in Lithuania on 5 September 2024. Its goal is to guarantee that all activities in the AI systems lifecycle align with human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, fostering technological advancement and innovation.🫂 The Framework Convention is designed to be timeless; the Framework Convention does not govern technology and remains fundamentally technology neutral. #AI #TheCouncilofEurope #Humanrights

Exciting developments in the world of AI! 🤖🌍 The Council of Europe has just introduced the Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, setting a groundbreaking precedent for the ethical and human-centric development of AI technologies. This initiative aims to ensure that AI systems respect human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. As someone deeply involved in health-tech and regulatory affairs, I am thrilled to see such progressive steps being taken. The implications for medical devices and health-tech innovations are immense, and this framework will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI in healthcare.

🌍 *Global Collaboration for AI Regulation: A Necessary Step Forward:* The signing of the *first international treaty on artificial intelligence, including participation from the UK, EU, US, and Israel,* is a landmark moment in ensuring that AI development and deployment aligns with fundamental human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. The Council of Europe's Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, which I am thrilled to support, sets a new standard for how we harness AI technology responsibly and ethically. As an advocate for technological innovation within higher education and a commitment to responsible AI, I believe this international collaboration is crucial. AI has the potential to transform industries and enhance public services, but it must do so without compromising human dignity or rights. Protecting Human Dignity in the Age of AI: One of the most important aspects of this treaty is the focus on *human dignity.* As AI systems increasingly influence decisions in sectors such as healthcare, education, and justice, it is essential that these technologies uphold the intrinsic value of every individual. AI must empower, not diminish, our human capacities and freedoms. We must ensure that AI is used to complement human decision-making, not replace the respect and dignity every person deserves. Key elements of the treaty include: +Protection of Personal Data: AI systems must respect individual privacy and data rights. +Non-Discrimination: Safeguards to prevent the use of biased data in AI decision-making. +Human Dignity: Ensuring AI respects human autonomy and dignity at all stages of development. +Transparency: Making AI decisions and processes clear and understandable. Oversight and Accountability: Clear mechanisms to hold those responsible for AI impacts accountable. +Accessibility of Remedies: Enabling individuals to challenge decisions made by AI systems. +Encouraging Innovation: Fostering AI innovation in safe, supervised environments. This treaty represents a significant step toward building trust in AI while promoting responsible innovation. Protecting human dignity and ensuring that AI benefits society without undermining its core values are critical to the success of this technology. 🌐🤖 #ArtificialIntelligence #EthicalAI #HumanDignity #HumanRights #InternationalCollaboration #AIRegulation #Innovation #HigherEducation https://lnkd.in/gy7VeK62

What a great opportunity it was to discuss innovative solutions for technology regulation with wonderful co-panelists, Susanne Stenberg and Meindert Kamphuis, and a very engaged audience at the #LAILEC2024 conference organised by Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP) @KU Leuven . A big thanks to the moderators, Katerina Yordanova and Wannes Ooms, and to Thomas G. for inviting me to share my perspective on AI regulation as a digital transformation practitioner.  #TechRegulation #DigitalTransformation #AIRegulation
