For years, employees drove to an office, opened their computer, logged onto a corporate network with their username and password and got on with their workday. But working standard hours in a fixed office location is becoming more and more rare. In fact, a report by Gallup found that 43 percent of American employees work remotely.1 This growing mobile workforce requires the same, secure access to resources as their onsite counterparts — without connecting to the corporate network. And both onsite and remote employees need secure ways to access the expanding number of applications and resources that are hosted in the cloud. To accommodate, enterprise technology and IT practices must adapt.

The report on “Understanding the Dynamics of Artificial Intelligence in Intellectual Property” prepared by the Tata Consultancy Services in close association with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) captures global developments, practices of various intellectual property offices of the world, technology landscape and research outlook. This publication on IPR would provide useful information to educational & research institutions and industries doing research in this area and fill up gaps for moving forward. CII firmly believes that IPR should be at the centre stage in competing in the world of artificial intelligence in a meaningful manner. The report highlights an important recommendation that, “With evolution of new technology, it is essential to have change in the IP creation and protection ecosystem by mechanisms to develop new doctrines for new technologies, modifying the existing system to accommodate this new change and reshaping of new policies for enforcement of IPRs”.

No broad industry trend, not client/server computing, not affordable hardware, not even the cloud itself, promises to so completely reshape the enterprise than artificial intelligence (AI). Melding decades-old mathematical principles with cutting edge algorithms and readily available, high performance hardware, AI is creating a seismic shift in the way companies across all industries build, maintain, and understand their core and departmental business operations.

Since more and more decisions that used to be made by humans are nowadays made either with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or by AI alone, it is essential that the AI algorithms are “fair.” In this whitepaper, we discuss issues surrounding the fairness of AI applications, with a special focus on how it can be assessed independently and subsequently certified. We explain why an AI application cannot be classified – and subsequently certified – as “fair” or “unfair” in a general sense and propose an approach that makes it possible to classify it as “fair” or “unfair” under the (application)-specific definition of fairness.
