Generative AI is a superpower for tech entrepreneurs creating new products. AI can help analyse problems, explore options and define solutions at a pace never before possible. Here’s the question: while AI is an inventor’s best friend, what role does it play in inventing new products from an intellectual property perspective? In this bonus episode of Techopia Live, OBJ publisher Michael Curran speaks with Kushal Shah, a registered Canadian patent agent and lawyer who recently joined Ottawa-based Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP. The discussion explores exactly how much heavy lifting an AI can do before it becomes difficult for a human to legally claim an invention. The conversation provides practical guidance on establishing a paper trail to prove a meaningful human contribution to the final product. Learn how to safely validate AI-generated suggestions and avoid the confidentiality traps of feeding unpatented ideas and proprietary data into generative AI systems in this latest episode.
