AI and other digital techs: a revolution in knowledge valorisation?

How will artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies change the way we valorise scientific knowledge? How to use them to make it more accessible for businesses, public administration, education, or other areas of public life?

From results scouting to patent drafting and AI-assisted inventorship, the interplay between AI and intellectual asset management is ever-growing. Digital strategies and tools can be developed and used to analyse research results and scientific knowledge. This can make us faster and more effective in finding economic potential and ways of deploying research results. Principles and guidance can ensure a responsible and sustainable application of these AI/digital tools for knowledge valorisation. These are some of the aspects that will be explored.

This exciting Talk will be web-streamed on Thursday 27 June from 13:00 to 13:40 from here.
