About Program:
Artificial Intelligence in Intellectual Property & Global Health Justice is a three-day, mentor-guided workshop that unites legal scholars, AI/ML practitioners, public-health experts, and policy advocates. Through case studies, hands-on AI labs, and high-level policy simulations, participants explore how machine-learning pipelines, patent analytics, and data-sharing frameworks can both disrupt and democratise the innovation ecosystem. By the end, attendees will have drafted evidence-based reform proposals aimed at forthcoming WTO and WHO negotiations, positioning themselves at the forefront of the AI-IP-health nexus.
Aim:
To equip participants with the interdisciplinary knowledge and practical AI skills needed to analyses, challenge, and redesign intellectual-property regimes so that life-saving medicines and health technologies become equitably accessible worldwide—especially during global health crises.
Program Objectives:
-
Map how AI accelerates pharmaceutical R&D, patent filing, and generics production.
-
Critically evaluate inventorship and patentability of AI-generated inventions under TRIPS.
-
Demonstrate AI-driven patent-analytics techniques to uncover access barriers and opportunities.
-
Compare landmark compulsory-license cases with new AI market-forecast data.
-
Debate ethical trade-offs between innovation incentives and the right to health.
-
Co-design governance models—patent pools, open licensing, federated learning—that prioritise equity.
-
Produce data-backed recommendations for the 2026 WTO Ministerial and WHO Pandemic Accord.
