From schools to workplaces, from solving complex mathematics problems to helping us remove grass stains from our jeans, artificial intelligence (AI) has found its place in our daily lives and we use it daily to navigate the challenges of living in the XXI century.
As AI-driven tools become more sophisticated, they are increasingly embedded in the workplace and the field of IP is not immune to this.
AI-based tools simplify the research, drafting and prosecution of patent applications, offering greater efficiency and speed, which is appealing to both patent firms and inventors.
However, these tools also introduce new challenges, particularly in terms of reliability as the information is now being processed by algorithms instead of a qualified patent attorney or paralegal.
