HKPC Lunch & Learn Talk - The Challenges of Generative AI in Intellectual Property Protection

 I attended the HKPC Lunch & Learn Talk named “The Challenges of Generative AI in Intellectual Property Protection” (探討生成式AI在知識產權保護方面的挑戰). Dr. Albert So is the guest speaker and we had joined ANQ Congress together in last year.


Firstly, he briefed the background of IP protection ordinance in Hong Kong. IP included three areas and they were Copyright, Trademark and Patent.  Nature of Copyright included any article, music and art that no need for registration and effective once created.


Then Dr. Albert So stated the ownership of copyright that author is the first owner. If author is employed by company to create the items, employer had the copyright in default. For commissioned work, the contractor is the owner if not stated clearly in the contract agreement.


Restricted act by copyright included copy, distribution in public, open performance, broadcasting, etc. However, some statutory permitted acts had been allowed such as action not affected owner’s benefit and some special purposes (e.g. education, comments & research).


After that Dr. So briefed some legal IP aspects on Generative AI. Who would be responsible to the infringement that included AI Model Developer, AI Model User, Platform Service Provider and End User.



Finally, some cases were discussed. The first case was “Monkey-selfie copyright dispute”. Between 2011 and 2018, a series of disputes took place about the copyright status of selfies taken by Celebes crested macaques using equipment belonging to the British wildlife photographer David J. Slater. In December 2014, the United States Copyright Office stated that works created by a non-human, such as a photograph taken by a monkey, are not copyrightable. In April 2018, the appeals court ruled that animals cannot legally hold copyrights. Non-human is key words that included AI!


The second case was Edmond de Belamy that is a generative adversarial network (GAN) portrait painting constructed in 2018 by Paris-based arts-collective “Obvious”. In this case, Obvious received USD $432,500. Dr. Albert So mentioned that it could be employed the Doctrine of “Authorship Transfer” that person behind the AI who had control over the creative process if no infringement. Since the teaching draw were long time ago, it is not covered by copyright (more than 50 year after author pass away).


The last case was that a user requested Ultraman-related images from the AI platform, which was not named in reporting, the outputs were extremely similar to the plaintiff’s original creation. The Guangzhou Internet Court ruled that an AI company infringed on the plaintiff's "copyright and adaptation rights" to the Ultraman works while providing generative AI services, ordering the defendant to pay 10,000 yuan (about USD$1,389) in compensation to the plaintiff for the economic loss.


At the end, Dr. Albert So concluded that AI generative texts or diagrams may infringe copyright. So we needed to consider the context owner and country related ordinances, as well as, AI derives product.

HKQAA Seminar on the Latest Development of ISO 9001 Revision

HKQAA 35th Anniversary Presents Seminar performed entitled “Latest Development of ISO 9001 Revisionheld on 13th Mar 2024 in the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups. Before the seminar, I took a photo with Dr Nigel Croft. We had four years without face-to-face meeting because of Covid. 


We also took a formal photo for memory.


I also met GP friends including Dr Percy Chan, Mr. Larry Lee and Mr. Johnny Sung.


We also took a group photo with Dr. Nigel Croft after the seminar.

(Left: Mr. Johnny Sung, Dr. Percy Chan, Dr. Nigel Croft, Mr. Larry Lee, Mr. Victor Lau and I)

In the beginning, Dr. Nigel Croft introduced the rundown included the story of the evolution of ISO 9001, latest trends in QM, rationale for the 2024 amendment, timescale for revision, etc.


The evolution of ISO 9001 had started since 1987. Then Nigel mentioned two major revisions that 2000 version introduced process approach and continual improvement, and 2015 version employed High Level Structure (HLS) and risk-based thinking. It might be minor revision on 2025.


And then he briefed background of ISO Technical Committee TC 176. The mission of ISO/TC176/SC2 is to develop, maintain and support a portfolio of products that enable organizations to improve their performance and to benefit from the implementation of a robust QMS. After that Dr. Nigel Croft discussed the latest trends in quality management such as “Quality 4.0”.


He reviewed the formal definition of quality that related to characteristics fulfils requirements.


Nigel also added that United Nations SDGs and ESG are expected to be involved; not only for product and service quality.


For Quality 4.0, it is an opportunity for digitally-enabled marketplace. Many advanced technologies (e.g. AI, Big Data, Blockchain) are good tools. We need considering the window of opportunity in different time and different technologies tools. But remember that “A fool with a tool is still a fool.” said by Nigel.


The role of Quality 4.0 was discussed that traditional quality methodologies can enhance the traditional organization. Quality 4.0 can interact with both traditional organization and Industry 4.0 employed organization. But we cannot use traditional quality methodologies for industry 4.0.


Finally, Dr. Nigel Croft mentioned the recent amendment of ISO 9001:2015 that all ISO management system standards should relate to climate change. It is started the revision process and expected to be completed by late 2025.


Nigel quoted the ISO 9001 amendment based on “ISO – London Declaration on Climate Action” to support “Net Zero” initiatives in three ways that are changes all ISO MSS organization context, needs & expectation; ISO Annex SL guideline to be changed; and extended to other specific ISO MSS.


In Oct 2023, changes to the “identical text” of the harmonized structure had issued.


And then Nigel briefed the tentative schedule of coming 2 years for revision of ISO 9001. 


Lastly, he concluded that ISO 9001:2015 amendment had been published in Feb 2024. ISO 9001 revision is on the way and aligned with latest version of “Annex SL”. 


At the end, I took a photo with Nigel again. He said he will come to Hong Kong again in Q4 2024 for updating the progress.


I also met a new friend Mr. Godwin SY Tam (GM, Samson Innovation Co., Ltd.) and he was studied in Chemistry.

Advanced Class II for I Ching (易經高班II)–Lecture 2

Minda and I joined Prof. Peng’s (彭泓基教授) advanced class II for I Ching (易經) Lecture 2 on 9th Mar 2024.


First, Prof. Peng reviewed the exercise of moving home prediction that employed Heptagram Array (七芒星陣) method in the first lecture.


Then he introduced the Western Numerology to us. Key numbers of Numerology included Birthday No., Life Path No., Desitny No., Soul No., Personality No., Attitude No., Personal Year No., Personal Month & Day, The Maturity No., Karmic Lessons, Personal Chart, … etc.


And then he used Elvis Aaron Presley to demonstrate how to calculate those numbers for prediction of man’s personality. 


Prof. Peng then discussed how to use the wisdom of the I Ching to observe the predictions and reasoning of fortune tellers. He also introduced how to use the app to identify the Nine Palaces Flying Star Chart (九宮飛星圖) of that year.


Using Luo Shu (洛書) Nine Palaces Flying Star Chart (九宮飛星圖), Prof. Peng introduced how to calculate the SanYuan JiuYun (三元九運). In each Yuan, the number of Yuen is in the middle of nine palaces. The sequence of the Nine Palaces Flying Star Chart is the same, but the positions are changed according to the Yuan number in the middle.


After that Prof. Peng introduced Tui Bei Tu (推背圖) background and how it can predict countries’ future.


The 43rd phenomenon predicts the unification of China. 


The 44th phenomenon predicts China to be the leader of the world.


The last phenomenon is one person pushing another person on the back, which means it's time to stop and rest. This is an endless cycle of world change.


Lastly, Prof. Peng explained Mr. Paul Chan (文相濡 - 陳琪豐) prediction of USA in 2024. I also attended Mr. Paul Chan’s talk in HKIE. (https://qualityalchemist.blogspot.com/2024/02/hkie-webinar-engineering-and-feng-shui.html )


After the class, most of classmates have lunch with Prof. Peng in Yue Cuisine in Scout Association of Hong Kong (童軍總會粵品軒) again. We went to the restaurant first.


Then we had lunch with Prof. Peng together.  Master Law is also with us.



Master Law had appointment and left early. I took a photo for him with Prof. Peng and Ms. Hin Hin Wong.


At the end, I come back to PolyU for marking students’ test paper.
