第八屆產權組織對話會“生成式人工智能與知識產權”將于2023年9月20日和21日舉行,。在過去幾年里,，技術的高速發(fā)展為創(chuàng)意作品的生產和傳播方式帶來了范式轉移,。生成式人工智能能夠創(chuàng)造新穎,、逼真的內容，如圖像,、音樂甚至文本,，因此有可能給諸多行業(yè)帶來革命性的轉變。人工智能(AI)算法在音樂,、圖像和其他形式內容的創(chuàng)作中繼續(xù)發(fā)揮著越來越大的作用,，從而引發(fā)了多種知識產權問題。

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.

本屆對話會將力求匯聚所有利益攸關者,，共同討論這些重要問題,，幫助確立數字時代創(chuàng)意作品保護的最佳方式，并為應對生成式人工智能給版權制度帶來的挑戰(zhàn)提供方案,。會議采取混合形式?，F(xiàn)場參會僅限于產權組織成員國和觀察員的正式代表。虛擬參會對所有人開放,，將有多個選項供與會者積極提問和發(fā)言,。如果您對本屆對話會感興趣，請掃描下方二維碼進行注冊并下載 “臨時議程”,。

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.

什么是前沿技術,？

What are frontier technologies?

前沿技術領域正在迅速發(fā)展,，盡管對這一概念并沒有公認的定義，但前沿技術有一些共同的特點,。它們在激進的科學進步和現(xiàn)實世界的實施之間運作,。此外，它們正在改變我們溝通,、解決問題、提供商品和服務,、創(chuàng)立并經營企業(yè)的方式,。前沿技術可以被描述為能夠解決全球問題的先進技術。前沿技術包括：1,、數字技術,，如物聯(lián)網、區(qū)塊鏈,、元宇宙、人工智能,、大數據和云計算,；2、物理技術,，如自動駕駛,、3D打印和硬件創(chuàng)新；3、生物技術,，如基因工程,、人體增強和腦機接口。

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.

為什么知識產權對前沿技術很重要,？

Why does IP matter for frontier technologies?

數據和無形資產是我們數字化新世界的基石。知識產權正在迅速獲得比實物資產更重要的地位,。我們今天的知識產權制度在制定之初的重點是人類的創(chuàng)造和創(chuàng)新,，側重于鼓勵開發(fā)有利于實務產品的生產方法及交易的技術。當初設計知識產權制度的時候,，創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)造的速度遠遠落后于如今的速度,。我們當下面臨的首要任務之一，是確保當前的知識產權制度在前沿技術時代繼續(xù)促進創(chuàng)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.

產權組織知識產權和前沿技術對話會發(fā)揮什么作用,？

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

過去的20年見證了技術的爆炸性發(fā)展，在一個日益互聯(lián)的數字世界中,，我們的工作和生活方式正在被技術所改變,。前沿技術的出現(xiàn)和融合是“第四次工業(yè)革命”或“工業(yè)4.0”的核心所在。前沿技術正在改變我們的經營方式,，改變我們創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)造的方式,，而且這種變化正在以指數級的速度發(fā)生。前沿技術為經濟增長提供了機遇,。為了使所有人抓住這些機遇,，我們需要確保知識產權制度繼續(xù)促進創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)造，并確保知識產權行政管理制度不斷發(fā)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.

產權組織知識產權和前沿技術對話會旨在提供一個開放,、包容的論壇，以便在盡可能多的利益攸關方之間,，就包括人工智能在內的前沿技術對知識產權的影響展開討論,，積累知識。對話會為利益攸關方提供領先的全球論壇,，討論前沿技術在這一快速發(fā)展的復雜領域對知識產權的影響,。

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).

產權組織通常每年舉行兩屆對話會，所采取的形式可以讓盡可能多的全球受眾參與,。對話會的主題包括前沿技術的使用和采用，以協(xié)助知識產權局和知識產權權利人,，以及更多基于概念的政策討論,。

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.

往屆產權組織對話會重點討論了元宇宙、人工智能、數據和知識產權管理中的前沿技術,。在2023年3月29日和30日舉行的第七屆產權組織對話會以混合形式舉辦,，吸引了來自144個國家的3700多名觀眾，并就元宇宙及其對知識產權制度的影響進行了深入探討,。

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.
