https://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/artificial_intelligence/call_for_comments/index.html (Deadline is February, 14, 2020.)
I am working on this especially from the perspective of copyright.
I think it would be crucial to include more entities in the process, especially those who are focused on (constitutional aspects) privacy issues and not just IPl. At least 2 issues deal with “privacy as property” questions in the call (Issue 8 and Issue 10).
In the case when this important question is raised in the arena as is WIPO which is inclined to make and defend pro property arguments, a debate can easily become imbalanced. It would be essential to include more specialist on privacy issues.
Are you familiar with activities of centres regarding this topic. Would it be possible to address this issue among members of the network and suggest to them to get involved?
Please, advise me how to contact the centres involved.
