ONE: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW THE INTERRELATIONSHIP
WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Background The recent rapid advancement of technology is
slowly being recognised as a gamechanger in human history.
Generative technology in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
can now be used to perform a myriad of human functions
ranging in difficulty and complexity. AI can now be used to
create inventions and works that not only mimic but also rival
human creations. The seamless integration of AI across diverse
industries has sparked a paradigm shift in business and creative
work processes. While these technological advancements
present opportunities for innovation, cost effectiveness and
efficiency, they simultaneously pose complex challenges in the
,realm of Intellectual Property Law. The intersection between AI
and Intellectual Property manifests several problems in all areas
of Intellectual Property, namely: Copyright, Trademark, Design
and Patent laws. AI technology is now being used to create
inventions and works autonomously, with minimum human
input or creativity. Intellectual Property law has always been
known an umbrella term to describe products of the human
intellect. Thus, it is debatable whether works created from AI,
with minimal or no human intellect, are subject to Intellectual
Property protection, and whether current Intellectual Property
laws allow for inventions and works created by AI to acquire
Intellectual Property rights. Suggested reading material Books

1: FAMILY LAW THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN
CUSTOMARY MARRIAGES IN SOUTH AFRICA THROUGH THE
RECOGNITION OF CUSTOMARY MARRIAGES ACT 120 OF 1998
Background The Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of
1998 (RCMA) was introduced on 15 November 2000. The RCMA
was promulgated not only to provide full recognition to
customary marriages but also to provide spouses in customary
marriages with equal status and capacity. However, 24 years
later it is evident that the interventions in the RCMA do not
protect women in customary marriages adequately. Critically
evaluate the protection of women’s rights in terms of the
Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998 and
explain whether the Act adequately protects the rights of
women in customary marriages in South Africa. Relevant
aspects include the requirements for a customary marriage; the
uncertainty regarding the proof of the validity of customary
marriages; the lack of registration of customary marriages; the
patrimonial consequences of customary marriages; divorce and
its consequences. Suggested reading material Journal Articles
