The Questions
No One Can Ignore
Artificial intelligence is no longer just assisting innovation. It is actively contributing to it.
As organisations accelerate AI adoption, fundamental questions around ownership, patentability, and liability are becoming harder to answer. Legal systems across jurisdictions are responding — but not in alignment.
This session brought together legal leaders to examine how intellectual property frameworks are evolving, and what it means for companies building, investing in, or acquiring AI-driven capabilities.
This creates both opportunity and risk for every legal team operating in the AI era.
