Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way businesses operate and interact with their customers.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act).

The Government of Ontario recently introduced the Strengthening Cyber Security and Building Trust in the Public Sector Act, 2024 (Bill 194) seeking to strengthen cybersecurity programs in the public sector and provide the groundwork for the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) among various public sector entities.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has captured everyone’s attention as the next wave of technological advancement promising us to move into a golden era of productivity and creativity. In a matter of minutes, with a well thought out prompt, anyone can create stunning images, videos, songs and text.

One area of generative artificial intelligence that organizations are already adopting is the use of generative AI to develop software code.

The Federal Circuit’s Thaler decision, and the Supreme Court’s subsequent denial of certiorari, established that only a natural person can be an inventor on a patent, meaning artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be.
