As artificial intelligence and big data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of artificial intelligence and big data.Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by artificial intelligence and big data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems.In an era marked by rapid technological change, extraordinary opportunities, and deepening inequality, this volume offers carefully designed reform strategies and policy recommendations to make innovation and intellectual property ecosystems more equitable, effective, and socially responsive.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license.

Featuring leading scholars on ‘Chinese internets’ – in the plural – from around the world, this interdisciplinary book explores the changing digital landscape in China and provides insight into contemporary Chinese techno-geopolitics.Policymakers, commentators and the mass media have widely viewed ‘Chinese tech’ as a unitary and statist monolith. This predominant view, however, is not only incomplete but has become increasingly obsolete. Using a pluralist and multilayered approach to analysing Chinese techno-geopolitics, this volume addresses the following important questions:Who are the key players in ‘Chinese internets’ today?What role do government agencies, state-owned enterprises, private companies and individual netizens play?How do ‘Chinese internets’ operate at the global, regional, national or local levels?How are external world or regional events influencing or being influenced by geopolitical patterns within China?The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets will be a key resource for policymakers, scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in Chinese techno-geopolitics and the changing digital landscape in China. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.

While growing disparities in wealth and income are well-documented across the globe, the role of intellectual property rights is often overlooked. This volume brings together leading commentators from around the world to interrogate the interrelationship between intellectual property and economic inequality. Interdisciplinary and globally oriented by design, the book features economists, legal scholars, policy analysts, and other experts. Chapters address the impact of intellectual property rights on economic inequality, the effect of economic inequality on the protection and enforcement of these rights, and the potential use of innovation law and policy to help reduce economic inequality. The volume also tackles timely issues like race and gender disparities and the North-South divide in innovation. This book is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
