This week on IPWatchdog Unleashed my conversation is with my friend Wen Xie. Many of you probably already know Wen. If you've been to IPWatchdog events, you've undoubtedly met her already, and you've heard her speak on our stage and in our webinars about various topics related to patent practice and procedure. 

Wen has more than a decade of experience as a U.S. patent attorney, and her specialty is with software and artificial intelligence (AI). She recently founded Lex Lumen Intellectual Property law firm, where she engages in representation with a client-centered focus that fuses digital modernity with a traditional patent practice. 

We begin our conversation by giving Wen an open mic opportunity to share her thoughts on the state of the industry, with me specifically asking:  What was on your mind as you drove to the studio today?

“You just asked me just now before we started filming, should we be afraid of AI,” Wen begins. “And my answer is there's no point in being afraid because it's coming… AI is coming in every profession, every technology."

After discussing Issac Asimov's three rules for robots, our conversation takes a turn toward innovation and patents. Can AI contribute originality at this point in its development that would be properly considered conception within the legal definition of inventing. We also discuss the importance of prompting, and how it can and should be used to streamline patent practice and drafting.
