schestowitz"In my view, the root of legal misconceptions - or, at least, one of the main contributing factors - is the tendency to anthropomorphise AI systems. S. Thaler is not the only one who portrays an ML system in an anthropomorphic way. Meanwhile, the anthropomorphisation of AI has been criticised within the computer science community itself for its ‘wishful’ language (see e.g. Drew McDermott, ‘Artificial Intelligence Meets Natural Stupidity’ 57 Sep 16 00:58
schestowitzACM SIGART Bulletin 4 (1976)). While for an AI researcher, such anthropomorphic language might be ‘helpful when explaining complex models to audiences with minimal background in statistics and computer science’ (David Watson, ‘The Rhetoric and Reality of Anthropomorphism in Artificial Intelligence’ 29 Minds & Machines 417-440, 434 (2019)), the lay audience, including legal professionals, might take such representations at face value. On the Sep 16 00:58
schestowitzproposition that ‘If any AI was capable of inventing, one might think it would be AlphaFold’: a closer and more critical look would cast some doubt on (1) whether there was a breakthrough in solving the protein folding problem (see e.g. Philip Ball, ‘Behind the screens of AlphaFold’ https://www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/behind-the-screens-of-alphafold/4012867.article); (2) whether AlphaFold should be credited with the claimed achievement. Sep 16 00:58
schestowitzAs the group of researchers in ML explain, the output of ML - including in the case of AlphaFold - is the function of how the computational process was configured and setup by humans (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3910332) - ML is not a 'magic black box' yielding inventions 'by itself'."Sep 16 00:58

schestowitzToday I was scanning through my “saved articles” on LinkedIn and came across this article by fellow EPA Christian Rupp. It outlines nicely where the line is to be drawn between graphical features that provide a technical contribution or not.Sep 16 01:02
schestowitzSo, credit to whom credit is due. Please check out Christian’s article if you’re into GUI patenting:Sep 16 01:02
