As companies continue their digital transformation journey, it’s clear that automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are now a competitive imperative. Companies can no longer ignore the gains intelligent automation solutions deliver. Such solutions free up employees from repetitive tasks, making them available for more valuable work. Automation and AI tools also enable companies to harness the value of their own data for competitive advantage while automating its processing.

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”.

The growing diversity of actors and circumstances involved in AI/ML deployment makes establishing a set of ethical participatory practices especially difficult for this field. Even among practitioners working at the same organization, there can be substantial differences in both their knowledge about how AI/ML systems were created or will be used and their ability to incorporate inclusive practices. Additionally, the greater availability of AI development platforms, including “no-code” platforms, means that algorithmic models can be deployed without having deep expertise, expanding the number of circumstances automated systems are deployed in. This means many more instances where automated systems are being deployed without consideration of how the algorithms were developed, the provenance of the datasets and nature of the bias on which they were trained and tested, and the ethical implications of their development and deployment.

China is following a national strategy to lead the world in artificial intelligence by 2030, including by pursuing “general AI” that can act autonomously in novel circumstances. Open-source research identifies 30 Chinese institutions engaged in one or more of this project‘s aspects, including machine learning, brain-inspired AI, and brain-computer interfaces. This report previews a CSET pilot program that will track China’s progress and provide timely alerts.

IT organizations face constant change. There’s the overarching transition to cloud, which raises questions about what workloads to move when. And there are application-level transitions imposed by vendors when they end support for older versions of software, forcing companies to upgrade. Microsoft SQL Server is swept up in both of these transitions. Organizations rely on SQL Server for everything from ERP to analytics, and thousands of them are running the 2008 or older versions that are now end of support.
