Abstract

In recent years, there has been both growing public debate and increased scholarship and policy dialogue on public and societal concerns associated with the rise of AI and its applications. This paper presents the results and insights gained from a systematic literature review on the societal dimensions of AI invention and innovation, focusing on the public values expressed in AI patent documents. We build on public value frameworks to conceptualize public values expressed in patents as statements regarding the potential social objectives and benefits of an invention, beyond the private value to patent holders. Although the United States Patent and Trademarking Office (USPTO) has no formal requirements for expressions of public values in patent documents, patent applications often describe the broader objectives or problems that the invention aims to address. Such public value statements inform the context for understanding the potential utility of a patent.
