Hanken AI Spotlight - AI and Brands: A Trademark Law Perspective on Brand Use in Automated Shopping
AI Spotlight är en serie 30 minuter långa online-presentationer där Hanken delar med sig av färska insikter, nya forskningsrön och praktiska konsekvenser av AI för forskning, näringsliv och samhälle. Presentationerna hålls på engelska.
AI-powered shopping tools are changing how consumers find and choose products, potentially reducing the traditional role of trademarks as search tools. In this talk, I argue that trademarks remain important because they help consumers discover alternatives and support personal autonomy in increasingly automated marketplaces. Drawing on EU trademark law and platform regulation, I explore how shopping technologies can be designed to preserve consumer choice and well-being.
Presenter: Vera Sevastinova
