Can AI Legally Be A Patent Inventor?

The video discusses the legal and philosophical challenges of granting personhood to AI, using the example of DABUS, an AI that invented a food container and a lamp. The legal system currently requires inventors to be human, posing challenges for AI-generated inventions. The video explores the concept of personhood, distinguishing between natural and legal persons, and considers the implications of granting AI legal personhood. It concludes that while legislators are considering frameworks for AI personhood, there are significant challenges and potential negative consequences.
