[August 2024 Roundup] Book Review of Roger Spitz's Impactful Book, ISAIL Advisory Council Updates, and other Updates
From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson
This is a repost of the Visual Legal Analytica newsletter on LinkedIn.
With this week's Visual Legal Analytica newsletter segment on LinkedIN, I am glad to present a few things in perspective, highlighting some of the most significant things for the month of August 2024.
Disrupt with Impact by Roger Spitz is Indeed an Impactful Read
It's been a while since I could get time to do book reviews after reviewing Balaji Srinivasan's book, "The Network State", but I must say that Roger Spitz's book is intriguing in its own way, on the overarching theme of risks that engulf a multipolar world. The book is what I would call, a great way to do some mind-jogging and understand how technological and other forms of risks, and disruptions shape the whole world.

New AI Standard Documentation is Out | AIStandard.io & ISAIL Committee Sessions
The R&D and Research Ethics Committees of the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law had conducted their own committee sessions on July 20-21, 2024 as a part of The Bharat Pacific AI Week last month.
The Generative AI Patent Landscape is not So Simple as it Seems
This insight examines a recently published Report on Generative Artificial Intelligence Patents by the World Intellectual Property Organisation, as of mid-2024.
While the report provides valuable insights, certain sections discussing the substantive features of Generative AI and related aspects might not directly reflect WIPO's official stance on AI patentability.
This caveat is crucial for two reasons:
Evolving Landscape: The AI patentability landscape is still developing, and individual countries are establishing their own legal frameworks, positions, and case law on the subject.
International Framework: The creation of an international intellectual property law framework under WIPO for AI patentability remains uncertain, as aspects related to economic-legal contractual rights and knowledge management may evolve.
