Notice Description

This included a commitment to "commission an economic study to enhance our understanding of the role the IP framework plays in incentivising investment in AI alongside other factors.

This expression of interest statement gives detail on this proposed study and invites those interested parties to respond, instructions can be found below. AI developments have grown at an unprecedented pace and, as a General-Purpose Technology (GPT), has the potential to increase innovation and productivity in a wide variety of sectors. Existing research shows that AI investment have grown in the UK but funding remains one of the main obstacles to innovation (2019 ONS Innovation surveys), and AI firms are not an exception (Tech nation, 2019). IP may be an important investment incentive mechanism to protect the returns on these investments for inventors and creators. The government wants to better understand the role of the UK IP framework in incentivising investment in AI, to foster AI invention and innovation.
