(En anglais seulement) AI and people do not compete on a level-playing field. Self-driving vehicles may be safer听than human drivers, but laws often penalize such technology. People may provide听superior customer service, but businesses are automating to reduce their taxes. AI may听innovate more effectively, but an antiquated legal framework constrains inventive AI. Ryan argues that the law should not discriminate between听AI and human behavior and proposes a new legal principle of "AI Legal Neutrality" to ultimately improve听human well-being. Among other things, in intellectual property law, AI Legal Neutrality means that we ought to provide intellectual property protection for the creative and inventive output of machines, even in the absence of traditional human authors and inventors, and even allow machines to be authors and inventors as a matter of law. Ryan is spearheading a series of legal test cases around the world seeking patent protection for AI-generated inventions and seeking to list the AI inventor as a patent inventor, with the AI's owner as the owner of any resultant patent rights.听听
