Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science concerning the creation of “intelligent machines”, that is the performance by computer systems of tasks that normally require human intelligence. A core part of AI is the field of Machine Learning, in which computers can learn, from analysis of large amounts of data, to recognize patterns in the data. The resulting mathematical models enable the making of predictions or decisions, or the performance of specific tasks, without the computers being programmed to do these tasks. Also, as the models are exposed to new data, they are able to independently adapt.

In recent years, these technologies are being increasingly used in a wide variety of industries to help solve complex problems, in areas as diverse as image and speech recognition, decision making, autonomous vehicles and many others. Applications of AI and machine learning is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years, as the relevant technology advances, and as increasing quantities of data are generated from sources such as the Internet of Things and social media.

In such a large and dynamic market, intellectual property protection is critical. Most of the players in this fields well understand the importance of protecting their invention in order to avoid business inferiority compared to their competitors and to raise the chances of investment or acquisitions. This realization is reflected in Forbes report showing that Machine Learning patents grew at a 34% annual rate between 2013 and 2017.
