The contribution of Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) to innovation is growing. For example, AI in the healthcare market is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 20211 and global retailer spending on AI is predicted to reach $6.3 billion by 20222. In addition to seeing a growth in inventors being assisted by AI, there will also be an increase in inventions created by AI itself. In this context, there is likely to be increased litigation surrounding such AI and the innovations and inventions emanating from it. There is also likely to be an increase in instances of patent infringement where the infringer is the AI enabled machine rather than a human operator. However, this poses some problems for the law relating to patent infringement.
