We are delighted to present Episode 2 of Season 1 of IP Technovation Talks, the podcast series presented by the IP Tech & Innovation Services Annual. In this episode, host Dr Claudia Duffy, Founder of Innovare IP, is joined by Hady Khawand, Founder and CEO of AÏP Genius, to discuss his feature article, "From Guesswork to Infrastructure: Reimaging IP Practice with Vertical AI," published in the inaugural IP Tech & Innovation Services Annual, exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming intellectual property practice and why the future of IP lies in intelligent, integrated technology solutions.

Drawing on more than four decades of experience in intellectual property across the GCC region, Hady shares the journey that led to the creation of AÏP Genius, the world's first vertical AI ecosystem developed exclusively for intellectual property professionals. Expanding on the key themes of his article, he explains how years of navigating fragmented systems and administrative inefficiencies inspired a new approach to delivering IP services through AI-powered innovation.

A key focus of the discussion is the distinction between general-purpose AI and vertical AI, with Hady outlining why trusted, industry-specific AI solutions are essential for legal and IP professionals. He introduces the AÏP Genius ecosystem, including AskAÏP, SearchAÏP, AÏP Nexus, and AMS, the firm's AI-native IP management platform, demonstrating how these technologies simplify prosecution, improve transparency, reduce costs, and streamline multi-jurisdictional IP management.

They also discuss the future of AI in intellectual property, the importance of maintaining human expertise alongside automation, the growing role of IP awareness among SMEs, and why continuous learning will be critical as the profession evolves.
