BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 9. Creative studios
powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital museums and
virtual exhibits, proactive monitoring systems for cultural
heritage, an intellectual property registry for artisans, and
AI-based local tourism flow analytics are among the technological
directions expected to expand in Icherisheher, said Rufat Mahmud,
Chairperson of the Board of the State Historical-Architectural
Reserve Icherisheher Administration, Trend reports.
In his speech at the international conference held in Baku today
on the topic “Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence,”
Mahmud noted that questions such as who owns an AI-generated work,
how creative products should be patented, and how digital heritage
should be protected are no longer issues of the future but
“questions of today”:
“A new technological vision is taking shape in Icherisheher, one
of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, a place where
centuries-old heritage is beginning to meet cutting-edge
innovation. Patents and AI matter here because Icherisheher is far
more than ancient walls; it is a living ecosystem of culture,
ideas, and creativity.
In the coming years, we expect the expansion of technological
directions in Icherisheher, such as creative studios powered by AI,
digital museums and virtual exhibits, proactive monitoring systems
for cultural heritage, an intellectual property registry for
artisans, and AI-based local tourism flow analytics. This
development, however, is impossible without an appropriate legal
environment,” Mahmud emphasized.
Today, the Republic of Azerbaijan's Intellectual Property Agency
and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) launched an
international conference called "Artificial Intelligence and
Patents" in Baku.
