Description 123-131
Artificial intelligence (AI) is prolific emerging algorithmic general purpose technology that helps inventors in the
innovation process or is a component of an invention. AI-assisted inventions and other computer-related inventions (CRIs)
generally have few significant differences. A simple instrument for creativity, machines are now a significant contribution to
creation because to AI advancements. Medical researchers are using AI machines to find new drugs. These automated
systems, also known as “innovative AI”, have been helping to develop new inventions with little to no human involvement.1
Since AI's contribution and autonomous invention process is exponentially growing, there have been instances where a patent
applicant has opted to name an AI programme as the inventor in a patent application. The patent offices of the United States, the
United Kingdom, the European Union, and New Zealand recently rejected a patent application seeking inventorship for an AI
computer. Australia and South Africa, on the other hand, have recognised AI as an inventor. In light of the various approaches used
around the world, this article examines the key question that emerges in patent granting: can an AI system that is not a natural
person be recognised as an inventor and granted a patent in India, including inventorship and ownership?
