This week on IPWatchdog Unleashed, I spoke with Robert Plotkin, a patent attorney, computer scientist, and longtime software and AI practitioner. In what turned into a wide ranging conversation about artificial intelligence, Plotkin, who is the author of The Genie in the Machine and AI Armor: Securing the Future of Your AI Company with Strategic Intellectual Property, discusses the legal and strategic challenges confronting AI innovation. We discuss why companies should be cautious about treating AI patent counts as evidence of innovation leadership and why the most valuable AI patent portfolios are built around technology that matters to the business for a specific, articulable reason.
