(*) Methodological note on the use of software that simulate human intelligence ("artificial intelligence")
As regards software that simulate the human intelligence,
inappropriately called “artificial intelligence” (AI),
our approach is as follows:
(1)
Its capability to ensure confidentialiy and quality,
the most important requirements in IP consulting,
is still unclear.
(2)
It obstacles clarity in communications with the consultant,
whose main commitment is to transfer the – always unique – creative act,
into a tool that protects the Author from infringement.
This requires an as most as possible direct contact
between Author and consultant, avoiding intermediaries,
including the aforementioned software;
(3)
It does not take responsibility for the results it produces, which remains exclusively within the user,
hence it should be used exclusively to obtain information
the correctness of which the Author can verify on his own.
(4)
It should never be supplied with any confidential information,
unless an explicit non disclosure agreement.
