Innovation Gaps and Demographics 1: Brent Lutes,Michael Palmedo, and Ryan Safner: The State of Inclusivity in Copyright and Creative Ecosystems 2: Michelle Saksena and Gauri Subramani: Understanding Demographics in Patent Data 3: Carlotta Nani,Martin Correa, and Julio Raffo: Gender Differences in Intellectual Property Awareness: Evidence from a Global Survey II. Disparities in the Patent System 4: W. Michael Schuster,Miriam Marcowitz Bitton, and Deborah R. Gerhardt: The Gender Gap in Academic Patenting 5: Jessica C. Lai: Patent Attorneys and the Increasing Use of Artificial Intelligence: A "Thought Experiment" on Our Human and Technological Gatekeepers 6: Jordana Goodman,Yan Li,Regan Murphy, and Khamal Patterson: Inventing Fairness: Exploring AI's Role in Patent Reform III. Initiatives to Promote Inclusive Innovation 7: Margo A. Bagley and Colleen Chien: Inclusive Innovation in an Age of AI: Insights from the Innovator Diversity Pilots Initiative 8: Suzanne Harrison and Bowman Heiden: Improving Diversity and Inclusivity Measurements in Inventorship: A Competitiveness Perspective 9: Paola Cecchi Dimeglio: Bridging the Gender Gap in Innovation: A Behavioral Approach to Inclusivity IV. AI Technology and Equitable Development 10: Deja Workman and Christopher L. Dancy: Identifying Potential Inlets of the Biocentric Man in the Artificial Intelligence Development Process 11: David R. Hunter: Taking Stock: What Statistics Can and Cannot Do 12: Daryl Lim: Equitable Progress and the Regulation of AI 13: Keith Robinson: Responsibility, Transparency, and Accountability in AI Patents V. AI-Driven Innovation and Global Challenges 14: Jyh-An Lee and Jingwen Liu: Navigating Turbulence: The Challenge of Inclusive Innovation in the U.S.-China AI Race 15: Peter K.
