English Court of Appeal Decides Artificial Neural Network is Not Patentable In a landmark decision, the English Court of Appeal has ruled that an artificial neural network (ANN) is not patentable, reversing the High Court’s earlier decision. This decision aligns with the UK Intellectual Property Office’s (IPO) initial rejection of the patent application on the grounds of unpatentable subject matter. The case, Comptroller-General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks v Emotional Perception AI Ltd [2024] EWCA Civ 825, highlighted key issues about the nature of ANNs and their patentability. The Court clarified that both hardware and software ANNs are considered computers and that their "weights and biases" are equivalent to a computer program. This means they fall under the computer program exclusion from patentability unless they can demonstrate a "technical contribution" outside the computer program itself. Importantly, the Court concluded that the training of the ANN, as part of the program's creation, does not constitute a technical contribution. Additionally, the outputs of the ANN, such as improved music recommendations, were deemed non-technical and subjective, thus not contributing to the patentability of the AI system. This decision has significant implications for the patent claims of generative AI systems, where training is a crucial part of development. #AI#PatentLaw#GenerativeAI#IntellectualProperty#TechnologyLaw#AIRegulation#UKLaw
前段时间一直被MajdataPlay的外键输入问题困扰：有玩家反映majplay会无征兆地出现拖判和吃音，但是内屏一切正常 因为我是第一次接触游戏开发，IO这方面也完全没经验 一开始我和bb本怀疑是线程调度的问题，即：IO线程时间片被其他线程挤占了，导致IO线程无法及时处理HID设备回报。为了验证这个猜想，我们尝试提高了IO线程的优先级，照旧 接下来我怀疑是我那套框架有问题：majplay是根据上一帧与这一帧的按键状态判断按键是不是"click"。为此我重写了这部分的实现，改进了IO线程与主线程之间的交互，问题照旧....... 到这里我已经怀疑这不是majplay的锅：IO线程没有任何异常，IO线程与主线程的交互没有问题，Note判定逻辑也没有问题，那就是设备确实没有回报给majplay或者设备发过来的回报中按键确实没有按下，但是大佬说hdd没有这种问题.....（人已经快崩溃了，这完全看不透也摸不着，因为我用单片机模拟玩家打高速纵连是完全没有问题的，我在家里用手台测试也没有问题） 到最后，bb本灵光一闪，说有没有可能是led刷新率过高，把按键控制板干爆炸了？我们让大佬把led刷新间隔从16ms改成100ms，吃音问题瞬间没有了，无语了 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 adx是一个控制板同时管理按键和led，为什么我没有遇到吃音问题呢，因为我的手台不是adx的... #dev

UK House of Commons Committee Issues Interim AI Governance Report Hello everyone! The UK House of Commons Committee on Science, Innovation, and Technology has released an interim report on AI governance. In a consultation involving over 100 AI experts, including researchers, businesses, and civil society representatives, the Committee explored AI applications in education, healthcare, and medicine, assessing their benefits and potential risks. While the UK government currently adopts a light-touch approach to AI regulation, the Committee warns that without an AI bill introduced before the next general election, the UK may lag behind the EU and US, both of which are making significant legislative progress in AI regulation. The report identifies 12 pivotal challenges for policymakers in shaping AI frameworks: 1. Bias 2. Privacy 3. Misrepresentation 4. Access to Data 5. Access to Compute 6. Black Box Algorithms 7. Open-Source Code 8. Intellectual Property and Copyright 9. Liability 10. Employment Disruption 11. International Coordination 12. Existential Threats The report emphasizes the need for mechanisms to prevent bias, protect privacy, and ensure transparency in AI systems, urging the introduction of an AI bill to maintain the UK's leadership in AI governance. #AIGovernance#UKAI#AIRegulation#AIChallenges#AIReport#TechnologyLaw#AIInnovation
