Prompt by Lauren Pogue
In the realm of thoughts and dreams,
Where ideas flow like endless streams,
AI steps in with a guiding hand,
To protect creations across the land.
In the world of intellectual might,
Where patents shine and copyrights light,
AI stands guard, both day and night,
Ensuring justice, fair and right.
With algorithms sharp and keen,
It scans the works, both heard and seen,
To find the patterns, unique and true,
And safeguard them for me and you.
Inventions born from minds so bright,
AI helps to claim their right,
By tracing paths of thought and skill,
And marking them with legal quill.
In art and music, code and lore,
AI opens a brand new door,
To recognize and validate,
The genius minds that innovate.
So let us hail this wondrous blend,
Of human thought and AI friend,
Together, they will pave the way,
For a future bright with fair play.
But Why…
I asked CoPilot to “Write me a poem about AI in Intellectual Property and how it can help.” There is plenty of discourse on whether to use AI, especially in any field of the legal industry.
When I asked my colleague, Dr. Christopher Nichols, for his thoughts on AI, he laid it out in a way that I could relate to the topic.
We should think of AI as a tool or another type of medium in a similar fashion that we have grown to accept the
camera and art of photography. We take cameras for granted now that they live in our pockets and purses, but when they were first invented, they were seen as disruptors of creativity.
In “Baudelaire’s Salon of 1859,” the author provided a review of photography stating,
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.
AI and Humans
AI and HumansIf AI ends up being anything like the camera, it will (if it hasn’t already) become a major part of our daily lives. From there, it becomes the responsibility of the human to learn and use it well.
