Abstract
The main objective of the paper is to examine the level up to which Jordanian law properly takes in the protection of trade secrets that result from the exploitational use of artificial intelligence (AI). Its root problem emanates from the fast-spreading use of AI technologies in many industries, specifically in the realms of business where intellection systems find themselves more and more able to create outputs that could potentially serve as trade secrets. Its root problem is in identifying if trade secrets resulting from outputs generated by AI could somehow equal the trade secrets that result from direct human innovative or industrial creation. Therefore, a separate legislative system to regulate trade secrets generated by artificial intelligence is currently urgently needed, distinct from the general provisions of Jordanian law. This is because these general provisions are not appropriate for the typical characteristics of AI products, as they lack specific provisions addressing this purpose. As for personal data protection law, the interference with trade secret administration created confusion BETWEEN THE TWO SEQUENCIES. In addition, cyberspace confidentiality needs digital barriers to implement these confidentiality obligations effectively. This study concluded with a number of recommendations associated with enforceable trade secrets and protecting them with a special law. It also highlights that it is essential to keep up with international developments with a new, complete, and competitive digital trade intellectual property system in Jordan. Inactivating such recommendations would allow for the best exploitation of innovations, as well as fair completion that underlies the national economy, under the umbrella of protecting rights. Creating a protecting intellectual rights system with the law would encourage creativity, activate innovation, and build a knowledge-based economy globally while allowing exports that go beyond mere resources and manufacturing techniques.
