Description
As artificial intelligence and big data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of artificial intelligence and big data.
Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by artificial intelligence and big data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems.
In an era marked by rapid technological change, extraordinary opportunities, and deepening inequality, this volume offers carefully designed reform strategies and policy recommendations to make innovation and intellectual property ecosystems more equitable, effective, and socially responsive.

Reviews / Votes
This thoughtfully curated volume illuminates the complex interplay between intellectual property, artificial intelligence, and broad access with both rigor and clarity. By bringing together diverse global perspectives, empirical research, and practical policy considerations, it offers a roadmap for making innovation ecosystems encompassing and effective. It is highly useful reading for policymakers and scholars seeking to ensure that the benefits of technological progress are broadly shared. * David J. Kappos, Under Secretary of Commerce and Director, United States Patent and Trademark Office (2009-2013) * This volume represents the most comprehensive interdisciplinary look at intellectual property from a global perspective, treating a variety of issues at the leading edges of scholarship. With so much commerce today being truly global and so many challenges and controversies being cultural as well as economic, legal, or technological, this intense look at the entire landscape could hardly be more important - or more current. The creativity and inventiveness of both editors and authors makes this book unusual and unusually valuable. * Paul R. Michel, Former Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit * Daryl and Peter are world renowned for their expertise in this area. Excited for them to bring their different experiences and perspectives together on this complex and important topic. In this book we get excellent insights and studies from different voices around the world. The volume is very comprehensive and should help people deal with challenging questions on innovation, intellectual property, and equity. The editors do a great job of integrating them. I highly recommend this book for innovators, lawyers, investors, and all others doing their best to stay on the cutting edge in this important area. * Scott Frank, Founder and Chair, Global Intellectual Property Alliance *More details
