Public values in patents

In this project we investigate how public values are expressed in artificial intelligence (AI) research and innovation, what drives the emergence of those public values, and how public value expressions in AI are related to innovation developments, applications, and clusters. The work involves identifying and classifying public value expressions in US patent records using a large language model (GPT-4). We are extending this work to look at public values expressions in nanotechnology patents.
