Last week has been out of this world. I embarked on my journey at the Sa\u00efd Business School, University of Oxford Graduate Diploma in AI for business program, and started a year-long training in artificial intelligence. Surrounded by an amazing and diverse cohort and led by incredible and renowned faculty staff, learning about the most advanced technologies in a historic place is mind-blowing and inspirational.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to Felipe Thomaz, Marc J Ventresca, Andrew Stephen, Joanna Francis, Joe Parton, Samira Barzin \u0633\u0645\u064a\u0631\u0627 \u0628\u0631\u0632\u064a\u0646 , PhD, Daniel Armanios (he\/him\/il\/\u4ed6), FASME, Kejia Hu for making this happen.<\/p>\n
Since my early school days, I have always preferred science over humanities and admired figures such as Tesla, Feynmann, Penrose, Hawking, and others. Still, I ended up studying law because, at that moment, I believed it would ultimately provide me with more options than, for instance, maths would. At that point, I had no idea why; it was just a hunch. From today's perspective, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Starting with corporate law and progressing through intellectual property rights, I began engaging increasingly with natural and computer science projects, integrating science and practice.<\/p>\n
However, my journey with AI started quite spontaneously during a creative crisis while working on my PhD topic (not related to AI, at least not directly). The Max Planck Institute for Competition and Innovation is a fantastic place \u2013 Mecca for a researcher. Thus, one day, in lack of inspiration while desperately searching through the depths of MPI's databases, I stumbled upon a paper concerning artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights, and I had an immediate Theoden moment: "So it begins."<\/p>\n
So, why this 'blog'? I plan to share some of my thoughts on specific news from the AI world and explore connections with science and business. Let's see where this journey takes us.<\/p>\n
I want to make a small contribution in these times of inflation of rubbish data, deepfakes, copy-cats, et cetera, where many have become an overnight AI expert with 10+ years of experience in the field. I won't apologize for occasionally challenging the blog with more extended reflections. Feel free to block, ignore, or engage in discussion if you disagree. I'll respect your choice. If you find value - like, comment, share, or consider. I hope to offer a modest contribution to the world of AI. However, I kindly request that you refrain from copying my content. As Feynman said: "These people who copy things never have the courage to make something really different." If you find something that is really different, it's got to have something different."<\/p>\n
And yes, this text was AI-augmented (not generated!). I'll definitely discuss the difference between using LLMs as tools and using them as copy-paste machines. Undoubtedly, it is a significant topic for the world of IPR and AI.<\/p>\n
