RMLNLU: National Conference On 'Navigating IP Challenges In The Digital Age: Focus On Artificial Intelligence And Emerging Technologies' [9th Nov]

As we enter a digital renaissance, the convergence of intellectual property (IP) with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and the Metaverse is reshaping innovation and creativity. These advancements challenge traditional IP frameworks. AI-generated content complicates authorship and ownership, while the replication of digital assets strains IP enforcement. Blockchain and the Metaverse further blur the boundaries of IP protection, making regulation difficult. A balanced approach to IP protection is essential to foster innovation while safeguarding intellectual property. Effective IP protection ensures that advancements in AI and other technologies can thrive within existing legal frame works. Finding solutions to these challenges is vital for supporting creators in the digital age.

In response, the DPIIT IPR Chair at RMLNLU is organizing a National Conference on “IP Issues in Emerging Digital World Including Artificial Intelligence” in November 2024. The one-day event will include sessions on Blockchain, the Metaverse, AI, and broader IP challenges. Researchers and experts across India will present papers, addressing the evolving relationship between technology and IP to ensure continued innovation while maintaining strong legal protections.
