AI Chatbots: Technological Revolution or Illusion?

Abstract

The current era is seeing considerable expansion in AI research. According to technology journalist Alice Bonasio, the growth of AI research over the previous five years has been 12.9% each year. The importance of artificial intelligence (AI) was also recently emphasized by India finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, at the Union Budget session for FY24, and it was said that the government will build three centres of excellence. India ranks third in AI research output, trailing behind China and the United States. There are several instances when AI is actively changing society and significantly enhancing human skills. The environment is continuously changing, and in the pandemic, we have seen several significant technological changes and many brilliant scientific concepts. Hence, it vital to assess the efficacy of technological progressions through a legal lens. Given the swift
evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), thorough consideration of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is essential in AI scrutiny.
This research paper will be critically analyzing the relationship between IPR and AI. There will be two effects of AI on IPR. It will be helpful for patent and patent search tools, precise and timely research, classifying innovations and ideas, providing the inventor with a means to discover which patents currently exist that are like this concept, and many other things, but it may also turn out to be a liability. For instance, upcoming AI chatbots, like OpenAI ChatGPT, are becoming more complex, and major problems about intellectual property (IP) law and how it applies to these technological advances are being raised by them. Specifically,
there are inquiries regarding the ownership and management of the content generated by AI chatbots. We have thereby, tried in this research paper to delve into the legal minefield of IPR and AI while also making a special reference to chatbots to explore the concerns raised using such applications.
