WIPO China: Free Registration is Open for the Eighth Session of WIPO Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies, Exploring the Generative AI and IP with Experts

第八届产权组织对话会“生成式人工智能与知识产权”将于2023年9月20日和21日举行。在过去几年里，技术的高速发展为创意作品的生产和传播方式带来了范式转移。生成式人工智能能够创造新颖、逼真的内容，如图像、音乐甚至文本，因此有可能给诸多行业带来革命性的转变。人工智能(AI)算法在音乐、图像和其他形式内容的创作中继续发挥着越来越大的作用，从而引发了多种知识产权问题。

The eighth session of the WIPO Conversation on Generative AI and IP will take place on September 20 and 21, 2023. In the past few years, the rapid pace of technological advancements has created a paradigm shift in the way creative works are produced and distributed. With the ability to create novel and realistic content such as images, music, and even text, generative AI has the potential to revolutionize multiple industries. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms continue to play a growing role in the creation of music, images, and other forms of content, and thus raises diverse IP questions.

本届对话会将力求汇聚所有利益攸关者，共同讨论这些重要问题，帮助确立数字时代创意作品保护的***佳方式，并为应对生成式人工智能给版权制度带来的挑战提供方案。会议采取混合形式。现场参会仅限于产权组织成员国和观察员的正式代表。虚拟参会对所有人开放，将有多个选项供与会者积极提问和发言。如果您对本届对话会感兴趣，请扫描下方二维码进行注册并下载 “临时议程”。

It will seek to bring together all stakeholders to discuss these important issues, to help establish best practices for the protection of creative works in the digital age, and to provide a map for navigating the challenges brought to the copyright system by generative AI. The event is held in a hybrid form. Onsite presence will be limited to official representatives of the WIPO Member States and Observers. Virtual participation is open to all and there will be plenty of options to participate actively with questions and interventions.

关于产权组织知识产权和前沿技术对话会

About the WIPO Conversation on Intellectual Property and Frontier Technologies

什么是前沿技术？

What are frontier technologies?

前沿技术领域正在迅速发展，尽管对这一概念并没有公认的定义，但前沿技术有一些共同的特点。它们在激进的科学进步和现实世界的实施之间运作。此外，它们正在改变我们沟通、解决问题、提供商品和服务、创立并经营企业的方式。前沿技术可以被描述为能够解决***问题的***技术。前沿技术包括：1、数字技术，如物联网、区块链、元宇宙、人工智能、大数据和云计算；2、物理技术，如自动驾驶、3D打印和硬件创新；3、生物技术，如基因工程、人体增强和脑机接口。

The field of frontier technologies is rapidly evolving and although there is no agreed definition for this concept. Frontier technologies share some common features. They operate at the intersection of radical scientific developments and real-world implementation. Furthermore, they are changing the way we communicate, solve problems, provide goods and services, create and do business. Frontier technologies could be described as advanced technology that can address global issues. Frontier technologies include: digital technologies, such as the Internet of things (IoT), blockchain, the metaverse, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and cloud computing；physical technologies, such as autonomous driving, 3D printing and hardware innovations; and biological technologies such as genetic engineering, human augmentation and the brain-computer-interface.

为什么知识产权对前沿技术很重要？

Why does IP matter for frontier technologies?

数据和无形资产是我们数字化新世界的基石。知识产权正在迅速获得比实物资产更重要的地位。我们今天的知识产权制度在制定之初的重点是人类的创造和创新，侧重于鼓励开发有利于实务产品的生产方法及交易的技术。当初设计知识产权制度的时候，创新创造的速度远远落后于如今的速度。我们当下面临的首要任务之一，是确保当前的知识产权制度在前沿技术时代继续促进创新。

Data and intangible assets are the bedrock of our new, digitalized world. IP is rapidly gaining increasing importance over physical assets. The IP system that we have today was developed with a focus on human creation and innovation and to encourage the development of technologies that enabled production process and trade of physical products. The IP system was also designed when the speed of innovation and creation was much slower than it is today. One of the important tasks that we face today is to ensure that the current IP system continues to promote innovation in the age of frontier technologies.

产权组织知识产权和前沿技术对话会发挥什么作用？

What is the role of the WIPO Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies?

过去的20年见证了技术的爆炸性发展，在一个日益互联的数字世界中，我们的工作和生活方式正在被技术所改变。前沿技术的出现和融合是“第四次工业革命”或“工业4.0”的核心所在。前沿技术正在改变我们的经营方式，改变我们创新和创造的方式，而且这种变化正在以指数级的速度发生。前沿技术为经济增长提供了机遇。为了使所有人抓住这些机遇，我们需要确保知识产权制度继续促进创新创造，并确保知识产权行政管理制度不断发展。

The last two decades have seen an explosion of technologies that are transforming how we work and live in an increasingly interconnected digital world. The emergence and merging of frontier technologies is at the heart of what is sometimes termed Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. Frontier technologies are changing how we do business, how we innovate and create and the rate of change is increasing exponentially. Frontier technologies provide opportunities for economic growth. In order to harness these opportunities for all, we need to ensure that the intellectual property (IP) system continues to foster innovation and creation and that the systems for IP administration evolve.

产权组织知识产权和前沿技术对话会旨在提供一个开放、包容的论坛，以便在尽可能多的利益攸关方之间，就包括人工智能在内的前沿技术对知识产权的影响展开讨论，积累知识。对话会为利益攸关方提供***的***论坛，讨论前沿技术在这一快速发展的复杂领域对知识产权的影响。

The WIPO Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies provides an open, inclusive forum to engage with and facilitate discussion and knowledge building among the widest possible set of stakeholders on the impact on IP of frontier technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI).

产权组织通常每年举行两届对话会，所采取的形式可以让尽可能多的***受众参与。对话会的主题包括前沿技术的使用和采用，以协助知识产权局和知识产权权利人，以及更多基于概念的政策讨论。

WIPO generally holds two sessions of the Conversation each year in a format that allows the widest possible global audience to participate. Topics of the Conversation include the uses and applications of frontier technologies to assist IP Offices and IP owners as well as more conceptual policy based discussions.

往届产权组织对话会重点讨论了元宇宙、人工智能、数据和知识产权管理中的前沿技术。在2023年3月29日和30日举行的第七届产权组织对话会以混合形式举办，吸引了来自144个国家的3700多名观众，并就元宇宙及其对知识产权制度的影响进行了深入探讨。

Past sessions of the WIPO Conversation focused on the Metaverse, AI, data and frontier technologies in IP administration. The seventh session of the WIPO Conversation took place on March 29 and 30, 2023 in a hybrid format. It attracted more than 3700 registrants from 144 countries and took a deep dive into the metaverse and its implications for the IP system.
