This document posits that, at best, a tenuous case can be made for providing\nAI exclusive IP over their "inventions". Furthermore, IP protections for AI are\nunlikely to confer the benefit of ensuring regulatory compliance. Rather, IP\nprotections for AI "inventors" present a host of negative externalities and\nobscures the fact that the genuine inventor, deserving of IP, is the human\nagent. This document will conclude by recommending strategies for WIPO to bring\nIP law into the 21st century, enabling it to productively account for AI\n"inventions".\n Theme: IP Protection for AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Works Based on insights\nfrom the Montreal AI Ethics Institute (MAIEI) staff and supplemented by\nworkshop contributions from the AI Ethics community convened by MAIEI on July\n5, 2020.\n
