😮 AI cannot be patent inventor—UK court rules

Our Report: The UK Supreme Court has ruled that AI cannot be a patent 'inventor' in a landmark case that unanimously rejected a U.S. computer scientist's appeal to register patents for inventions created by his AI system, DABUS.

🔑 Key Points:

• The ruling reaffirms that under UK patent law, an inventor must be a natural person, not a machine, and Stephen Thaler's attempt to register the patents was initially refused by Britain's Intellectual Property Office.

• This decision aligns with a similar ruling in the United States where the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge regarding AI-generated inventions, although we expect that this might change as society begins to great as real persons in the future.

• Lastly, experts suggest that while the ruling does not greatly impact the current patent system, it highlights the need for future adjustments as AI technology evolves.

🤨 Why you should care: The ruling sets a significant precedent in the ongoing debate about AI's role in creative and intellectual processes, potentially influencing future patent laws and AI's legal status. Do you think AI should be protected under copyright law?

🇪🇺 EU expands support for AI startups

The EU is expanding its support for AI startups by providing them access to its supercomputers for model training, with the initiative aiming to enhance the startups' ability to develop advanced AI algorithms by leveraging EU supercomputers.

The EU plans to establish "centers of excellence" to aid in the development of AI algorithms specifically designed for supercomputers, and France’s Mistral has already participated in an early pilot phase—emphasizing the local support given to AI companies via governments worldwide.

🎶 Microsoft’s new AI music creation feature

Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft’s AI chatbot) now boasts a music creation feature through its integration with the GenAI music app Suno, where users can input creative prompts into Copilot, like "Create a pop song about adventures with your family," and turn these ideas into full-fledged songs complete with lyrics, instrumentals, and vocals.

This integration is accessible via Microsoft Edge by visiting Copilot.Microsoft.com, logging in, and enabling the Suno plugin, and marks a significant advancement in making music creation accessible to all (super useful for the artistically un-inclined here at AI Tool Report).

🇸🇬 Singapore using AI to hunt for critical materials

Singapore-based startup Atomionics is revolutionizing mineral exploration with its innovative "virtual drill" technology, Gravio, which leverages gravity and AI to locate ore bodies beneath the Earth's surface accurately.

Gravio offers more precision and speed in identifying key minerals like copper, nickel, and zinc, and not only accelerates the process of defining ore bodies but also significantly reduces costs—further highlighting the plethora of use cases beyond everyday tools we use on a daily basis.
