“…This has also necessitated an increase in accessible formats for the various visually impaired beneficiaries. Land (2018) is of the opinion that the Marrakesh Treaty is one of the most outstanding treaties in that it compares human rights and intellectual property; as such, it mandates that governments make compulsory exceptions to copyright law to protect the rights of people with disabilities. However, despite the benefits of the Treaty, we are encountering some hurdles in its implementation.…”

This article critically analyses the significant role of IFLA in the implementation and adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty in member-state libraries. The challenges and hindrances affecting the implementation of the Treaty are also highlighted. The article establishes that, despite signing the Marrakesh Treaty, the implementation of the Treaty by member states has been met with resistance. The article, however, recognises the significant role that IFLA has played in the implementation of the Treaty, including acting as a representative of libraries globally and in its advisory and advocacy roles and outreach services. Finally, the article discusses and offers various suggestions – for example, IFLA should recruit and incorporate more countries in the association; have wide language diversity; develop competency skills and training; and organise frequent conferences and workshops on the Marrakesh Treaty.

“…It came into force in 2016, only after twenty countries had ratified or accessioned to the treaty. Drawing the lessons from the Marrakesh Treaty episode,Land (2018) has raised the concern that its arduous ratification journey demonstrates that the prospect for other similar copyright exceptions does not look promising.A short term solution would have to rely on open source and open access licensing. Perhaps taking a leaf from the idea of a treaty illustrated above, a multi-faceted intellectual property rights license can be crafted to cover all the various types of artificial intelligence components.…”

Artificial intelligence technologies today employ techniques known as machine learning and deep learning, which apply datasets to a suitable mathematical or statistical technique known as an algorithm. This in turn produces a model that can be employed to predict an outcome, given a new set of data that was previously unseen by the model. The principle of common heritage of mankind, which has originated in the 19th century, promotes the concept that humanity as a whole has rights and responsibilities over territories or outer space. This study aims to advance the concept of treating the components of artificial intelligence as an intellectual common in the form of a common heritage of mankind, in order to promote the discovery and the development of more novel artificial intelligence applications for the benefit of people around the world. This work employs a mix of legal doctrinal research related to intellectual property law and conceptual theoretical discussion. The potential application of open access and open data licensing is discussed. The history of the common heritage of mankind is covered, and the potential benefit of recognizing basic artificial intelligence components as a common heritage of mankind is explored. Finally, a novel method for implementing this idea is proposed. This work is significant in advancing a method to liberate certain artificial intelligence technologies from intellectual property rights protection, in order to promote greater experimentation and the development of artificial intelligence applications for the greater good of humanity.
