In this presentation for Justia, Josh Waterston examined how artificial intelligence is reshaping the creation, protection, and valuation of intellectual property. He explained the mechanics of generative AI, why they matter to IP practitioners, and highlighted key ethical considerations, cautionary examples, and emerging court responses. The program also covered AI’s impact on copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, with a focus on ownership, authorship, and asset value. Mr. Waterston provided practical guidance for drafting and negotiating agreements that address AI inputs, outputs, confidentiality, and ownership so attorneys can anticipate and manage AI-driven issues for their clients.

Developing and using AI technologies can cause all sorts of legal problems. If you use AI to generate computer programs or other code, why are the outputs considered public domain by the Copyright Office and the Patent and Trademark Office? And if those assets are public domain, how do you protect what should be yours? How do investors protect their investments in AI technology and its outputs? How do AI developers reduce the risk of lawsuits from large media companies? How do companies responsibly use AI, and do they need yet another policy document?
