‘Artificial intelligence (AI) has notoriously been making inroads into the inventive process, from drug discovery to engineered systems, and beyond. The widely reported DABUS project is notorious for igniting a global legal and philosophical debate over whether AI can be recognised as an inventor under patent law. But patent applications for the DABUS inventions were rejected in several jurisdictions including UK, US, Germany, at the European Patent Office, and Australia, primarily because patent laws require that an inventor must be a natural person, not a machine or an AI system.’
