 "One of the agency's top priorities is to ensure that the United States maintains its leadership in innovation, especially in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). To that end, the USPTO has been actively engaging with the innovation community and experts in AI to determine whether further guidance is needed to promote the predictability and reliability of intellectual property rights relating to AI technology and to encourage further innovation in and around this critical area." —USPTO Director Andrei Iancu
