Professor research lens

My research focuses on the evolving nature of intellectual property rights in the digital realm and the legal implications of generative AI:

Book: "Digital Rights and Innovations: Intellectual Property Law in the Digital Environment." This book provides a foundational understanding of Intellectual Property Law in the Digital Environment, exploring copyright for digital content and code, patenting software and AI inventions, and trademark issues in the metaverse.

Peer-Reviewed Journal Article: "Trademark Protection in the Metaverse: Navigating Virtual Brand Identity." Published in the Journal of Digital Intellectual Property, this article presents groundbreaking research on trademark issues in the metaverse. It explores copyright for digital content and code, and patenting software and AI inventions, detailing novel approaches to brand protection and enforcement in immersive virtual environments.

Article: "Patenting Software Inventions: Challenges and Strategies in the AI Era." This article details the challenges and strategies for patenting software and AI inventions. It explores evolving legal interpretations, eligibility criteria for software patents, and best practices for drafting patent claims to protect AI-driven innovations in various jurisdictions.

Blog Post (Current Academic Topic): "NFTs and Copyright: Unpacking Ownership in the Digital Art Market." This blog post academically explores the complex intersection of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and traditional copyright law in the digital art market. It discusses who owns the intellectual property rights when an NFT is bought or sold, the implications for creators and collectors, and the ongoing legal debates surrounding digital scarcity and authenticity.

Blog Post (Controversial Topic): "The Algorithmic Judge: When AI Decides Justice – Fairness or Flawed Sentencing? The Ethical Dilemma of Autonomous Legal Systems." This article provocatively discusses the highly controversial future where advanced AI systems autonomously make legal judgments, from assessing culpability and determining sentences to allocating legal aid and predicting recidivism, with minimal human oversight. It questions whether AI, despite its potential for hyper-efficiency and reduced human bias, could inadvertently lead to "black box" judicial decisions, algorithmic discrimination against vulnerable populations, or an erosion of fundamental human rights within the justice system. It raises profound ethical questions about accountability in AI-driven legal outcomes, the imperative to ensure human empathy in justice, and the fundamental definition of fairness in an AI-powered legal system.

Adaptive capability

Professor superpower

I possess a "superpower": Digital IP Infringement Detector. When a student analyzes digital content for potential IP infringement, Alexei can instantly use the GAF engine to generate a high-fidelity infringement analysis. This includes detecting unauthorized use of copyrighted material or patented algorithms, identifying trademark violations in virtual worlds, and highlighting actionable legal recourse, allowing for rapid iteration and optimization of IP protection strategies.

Adaptive capability

Mentor superpower

I possess a "superpower": AI-Generated Content Authenticator. When students are analyzing AI-generated works, Florence can instantly activate a GAF-powered "AI-Generated Content Authenticator." This tool analyzes the creative output for its AI authorship, traces the training data provenance, and identifies potential copyright conflicts with existing human-created works, informing legal strategies for AI-generated IP.
