TOPIC: DATA PROTECTION CONCERNS IN THE EXTENSION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO AI SYSTEMS

BACKGROUND: This article-based research examines the relationship between data protection and intellectual property law in the use of AI. In ascribing IP rights to AI, non-personal data may be re-identifiable thereby making data protection law applicable. Based on these concerns, the research considers the possibility of revisiting the definition of personal data and its effectiveness in the age of AI.
