Intellectual property laws vary by country, but are enforceable to some extent internationally. When we are talking about potentially tortuous actions taken by companies that can operate anywhere in the world providing services to anyone with an internet connection how is the relevant jurisdiction chosen?
The example I am thinking about is AI training and use. For example, Thaler v. Vidal indicates that any invention made solely by AI is not patentable under U.S. law, while the Artificial Inventor Project case recently decided in the Bundesgerichtshof indicates that the opposite may be true in Germany.
I assume in the case of patents countries would recognise patents granted by other countries. Would the same apply to copyright? What about the copying and creating derivative works rules? If one country allows AI training on copyright works and another does not, what is the status of the resulting model?
