It’s no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) has become a go-to tool in the race to innovate, especially in the robotics industry. Whether it helps in the creation of new algorithms or novel innovations for automation, AI can be a creative partner, or in some instances, even contribute to the creation of inventive concepts.
Given the prevalence of AI, robotics executives are grappling with the fundamental question: can you protect innovation not entirely created by humans? And if so, how?
The answer to that question includes two distinct paths: patents or trade secrets. Choosing the right path in the age of AI has never mattered more.
