In the new court released by the UK, the possibilities of AI have been limited. The court ruled out that AI works on human-devised machines to assist humans, it cannot be an inventor of patents or laws. The main argument was about whether the law written for humans could be applied to machines or not. It ruled out the argument of granting machines the status of an inventor. According to the court, the basic aim behind the court’s ruling was the status of the inventor should be given to a real person and not the machine.

According to the chief judge, “a patent is a statutory right and can only be granted to a person and not a machine.” By law, the patent is usually named by the inventor or the owner of the title, but if machines are involved in the patent then the ownership would be questioned. They believe that machines are the cause of invention, but they cannot be the inventor themselves.

However, some people argue that the laws regarding AI are outdated and should be updated with time. They are keen on expanding the scope of patent rights. But the ruling has seen a mixed response as people argue that on the technical front, there may come a time where machines may be accepted as the status of inventorship. But the time has not come yet and we are yet to see that challenging phase.
