AIII Technical Exchange Network
Are you a creator, rightsholder, tech professional, AI developer, or academic with the technical expertise to contribute to a network of AI and IP specialists? The Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Interchange (AIII) is looking for experts to take part in the global dialogue on the technical and operational aspects of the intellectual property system in the context of artificial intelligence.
Call for applications: join the AIII Technical Exchange Network
We want to hear from you! WIPO is looking for technical experts to join the Technical Exchange Network (TEN) and contribute to the work of the AIII. Apply today for membership!
Operation of the AIII Technical Exchange Network
The work of the Technical Exchange Network will proceed through a series of members-only meetings to account for the need to provide a trusted, constructive environment.
The Secretariat acts as a convenor and facilitator of the Technical Exchange Network. We believe that it will be key to the success of AIII to allow the technical experts comprising the Technical Exchange Network to set the direction of their work, while also providing clear mechanisms for input by Member States.
Strategic objectives of the AIII Technical Exchange Network
- Prioritize identification of potential technical solutions to challenges and opportunities arising for the intellectual property system from the development and deployment of generative AI;
- Share and disseminate state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies and practices, including via the compilation of a repository of papers and other reports on technical elements of AI and IP infrastructure;
- Facilitate mutual learning and peer support among technical experts;
- Develop a common lexicon of relevant terminology to provide consistency across discussions;
- Foster cross-sectoral, inter-industry, and international cooperation on key technical challenges and opportunities at the intersection of AI and intellectual property.
AI-related IP topics relevant to the AIII Technical Exchange Network
In pursuing the strategic objectives, the Technical Exchange Network may cover a wide range of relevant topics, including for example:
- Identification and labeling of AI-generated works and other material;
- Authenticity and provenance of original content;
- The use of AI tools to assist in IP enforcement efforts;
- The use of AI tools to assist in creating new works.
An initial range of potential topics will be identified during a mapping exercise undertaken by the Network to identify both:
- existing infrastructure tools, systems and processes that have been or are being developed across the full spectrum of creative industries
- a detailed listing of the challenges and opportunities for creative industries raised by AI development and deployment, to identify those areas that may allow for non-policy-based, technical discussions.
Selection of the Technical Exchange Network members
Applications will be reviewed by the WIPO Secretariat, and selected participants will be informed by email.
