Laws, legal frameworks, and binding policy instruments governing AI development and use.

1.1 Innovation is only of value if it can benefit society. Funding is necessary to develop innovation to a level where it can be disseminated and utilised by society. Those from whom funding is sought require a return on their investment. Consequently, there must be incentivisation and protection for innovation if it is to attract investment and be brought to the greater good of society. 1.2 Organisations must therefore be allowed to protect rights in works resulting from the use of AI, whether AI-created works or AI enabled works. 1.3 However, care needs to be taken not to take steps which will amount to overprotection, as this could prove detrimental to the ultimate goal of IP protection.
Reasoning
Unilateral voluntary commitment to protect innovation rights and incentivize AI development without state enforcement.
Ethical Purpose and Societal Benefit
Organisations that develop, deploy or use AI systems and any national laws that regulate such use should require the purposes of such implementation to be identified and ensure that such purposes are consistent with the overall ethical purposes of beneficence and non-maleficence, as well as the other principles of the Policy Framework for Responsible AI.
