Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent the main hope for peace and prosperity in the near future, according to the 2030 UN Agenda. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a significant technological advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Intellectual Property (IP) is the system that incentivises innovation worldwide. These three areas influence each other. This chapter aims to illustrate the intersections between AI, IP, and SDGs that emerge from the literature and can be relevant from a policy perspective. The objective is to unveil research areas that can advance scientific understanding of how IP contributes to the SDGs, by using and incentivising AI methods to inform IP offices, businesses, and policymakers. The chapter concludes by providing a line of research of that kind.
