The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued new guidelines outlining when inventions created with the help of AI can be patented. From a report: USPTO Director John Squires said on Wednesday in a notice set to be published Friday, that the office considers generative AI systems to be "analogous to laboratory equipment, computer software, research databases, or any other tool that assists in the inventive process." "They may provide services and generate ideas, but they remain tools used by the human inventor who conceived the claimed invention," the office said. "When one natural person is involved in creating an invention with the assistance of AI, the inquiry is whether that person conceived the invention under the traditional conception standard." The office reiterated its guidance from last year that AI itself cannot be considered an inventor under U.S. patent law. However, it rejected the approach taken by the PTO during former President Joe Biden`s administration for deciding when AI-assisted inventions are patentable, which relied on a standard normally used to determine when multiple people can qualify as joint inventors.

Kim Kardashian gave some insight into how Kanye West`s public comments about her have affected her behind closed doors. On Thursday`s new episode of The Kardashians , Kim was seen venting to both Scott Disick and the show`s producers about her ex, who has claimed in the past that he`s been unable to see their shared children. The two are parents to North West, 12, Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 6. "By the way, I`m sorry about all that you`re going through. It looks stressful," Disick said while the two shared a car ride together, not mentioning West by name. "I mean, I see some stuff and it`s like, f--k,`" he added, as Kim admitted it "is hard." In a confessional, a producer then noted that her "ex is very loud out there." "I just can`t really engage, I think it`s just for the better," Kim responded, before cutting back to her convo with Scott. "By the way, never once called," Kardashian then said of West, adding, "I mean, I always encourage a relationship, but a healthy one." After saying it`s "just frustrating that my character as a mom" is called into question, she said, "Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can`t. I just can`t." In another confessional, Kim concluded that her "only focus and job is really just to be strong for my kids." Elsewhere in the episode, Scott wondered how Kardashian "has been able to stay so calm during pretty much anything" -- concluding, "She`s able to bottle up her emotions. Not sure where they go. Maybe she`s tucking them under her butt, that`s why it’s so big." New episodes of The Kardashians drops Thursdays on Hulu .
