AI: The Intellectual Property Assassin – Is Human Creativity Obsolete?

Traditional intellectual property thinking no longer applies​

In the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, the concept of intellectual property (IP) faces unprecedented challenges. As AI systems become increasingly capable of generating creative works and innovations, the traditional notions of IP become obsolete.
AI Face.jpg

Has AI nullified intellectual property?​

Here are three reasons why I think intellectual property no longer exists in its current form in the AI era:

1. Blurred lines of authorship and inventorship in intellectual property​

AI systems can now create content and develop solutions that rival human-generated works. This capability blurs the lines between human and machine-generated content, creating significant challenges to traditional concepts of authorship and inventorship. When an AI system creates a piece of art or develops a new formula, determining ownership becomes complex. Is it the AI itself, the developers who created the AI, or the company that owns the system? But wait there’s more. AI systems often rely on vast datasets for training, which may include copyrighted materials. The process of machine learning involves analyzing and learning from these datasets, potentially creating derivative works in the process. This further complicates the issue of authorship and ownership, as it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between human-created content and AI-generated works influenced by existing intellectual property.

2. Rapid pace of innovation outstrips intellectual property’s legal frameworks​

The speed at which AI technology is advancing far outpaces the development of legal frameworks designed to protect intellectual property. AI systems can generate new ideas, solutions, and creative works super fast, often iterating and improving upon existing concepts in ways that blur the lines between incremental improvements and major inventions. This rapid pace of AI-driven innovation creates several challenges for the existing IP system:

  • Question
CASP+/SecurityX PBQ & Lab Practice Recommendations

In addition to the Cert Master content, can anyone recommend other resources they used for practice leading up to the exam or recommendations based on their experience with the exam, without giving away too much about the exam.
TryHackMe and Hack the Box have a bunch of content...just not sure what's applicable to CASP+/SecurityX, and what other resources are available.

I've got study materials like books, practice MC questions and flashcards covered.

Thanks!

Free Complete Training for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) in Urdu/Hindi – Empowering Future Cybersecurity Professionals

Dear Colleagues,

I’m excited to announce that I have prepared a complete training course for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) in Urdu/Hindi, and it is entirely free!

This course covers all domains of the Security+ certification, along with hands-on exercises, designed to equip learners with essential cybersecurity skills. My aim is to support individuals who face challenges in affording expensive training programs or struggle with language barriers, giving them access to high-quality education that can help them succeed in the cybersecurity industry.

I truly believe that this initiative will make a significant impact, especially for students and young professionals who have the potential but lack the financial resources or language support to pursue their goals. This free training is an opportunity for them to gain the knowledge and tools required to excel in the field and advance their careers.

I encourage you to share this with your students and community members who could benefit from it. Together, we can empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and help them overcome the barriers they face.

Just passed my Linux+

Wow! I just passed my Linux+ test. I don't know why but I spend more time preparing for this exam when compared with my Pentest+ and CySA+, I was kind of intimidated by the fact that the vast majority of these questions you were not able to do an educated guess, you needed to know the commands. The best thing is that I got medium high 700's for the other tests and the Linux+ I got 822, still lower than my 885 on Security+ but damn, I was going in and out since February! This is a credential I make sure not to loose cause I don't want to take that test again!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Question
CertMaster Network+ Instructional Strategies Toolkit - instructional videos

Does anyone know if we are allowed to embed the instructional videos that are found in the Instructional Strategies Toolkit into our courses? According to the guide, "The following instructional videos are designed to support instruction of Module 1 concepts and may be used as an instructional resource for learners or as a primer for instructors."

I can't find a way to get at the source code for the video and these do not show up as a selection when creating LTI links to the material from within our LMS.

  • Question
Comptia tech+ still not available?

Hi Guys, I/we are in a bit of a bind as I am due to start delivering this course from the 23rd of this month.

With the courseware date being pushed back to yesterday (04/07 UK) from its intended August release date the time for prep was going to be ok, but after its no show yesterday I am a little concerned, especially as I do not have access to the pre-release materials to prepare myself with.

The reason time is so tight is that I fly out on our honeymoon tomorrow afternoon and do not return until the day before I am due to deliver it, all would have been fine, but now...... :(


Can we please have an update as to when it is actually going live, or can someone who has the pre-release PDF so I can read it on the flight please share it

Thank you

Don’t Miss Oprah’s AI Interview with Sam Altman and Bill Gates on September 12: What would you ask?

Oprah, Bill and Sam talking AI, and everybody else listening...​

You know that heading is true :rolleyes:. Oprah Winfrey will be discussing Artificial Intelligence with Bill Gates and Sam Altman later this month. AI and the Future of Us airs on ABC on September 12, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET. See Oprah Interview for more. In case you’re wondering, they will explore AI’s impact on our lives. Alright fellow CompTIA instructors, if you were writing Oprah’s questions, what would you ask?


AI Face.jpg

Need some prompts?​

Here are the questions perplexity suggested. These began at a 6th-grade reading level before I polished them:

  • How do you think robots and computers will change our everyday lives in the next 10 years?
  • What are some big problems that companies developing AI face, and how are they fixing them?
  • Can you tell us about a time when smart machines helped solve a big problem in the world? What did you learn from it?
  • How do you make sure that making new smart machines is safe and follows rules?
  • How could AI change how we learn in school, and what might be some bad things about that?
  • How can we make sure everyone can use smart machines, not just some people?
  • What are you doing to keep people’s information safe as smart machines get used more?
  • How do you think smart machines will change jobs, and how can people get ready for these changes?
  • How can robots and computers help with big world problems like climate change and health?
  • How can we talk about smart machines in a way that includes everyone’s ideas and worries?

Your turn to create some AI questions​

Now that you have some sample questions, it is time to write your own. before September 12, that is. ?
