In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot has revolutionized the way companies operate. These AI systems promise to significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of employees, especially in fields like software development and content generation. However, the integration of these sophisticated AI tools into corporate structures is not without its challenges and potential pitfalls.

A main concern centers around the risk of losing intellectual property (IP) rights. AI tools, by their very nature, process and generate vast amounts of data, some of which might be sensitive or proprietary. The inadvertent public disclosure of such information through AI interactions could jeopardize patent rights or compromise trade secrets. This is a particularly acute concern in the United States, where patent law is stringent about public disclosures of inventive ideas.
