In my opinion, no jurisdiction in the world would be able to approve AI as an inventor on patent applications.

And for a very simple reason: you could easily overwhelm any intellectual property bureau just by having your AI drown them in AI slop. Even if most of these patents get refused, just refusing a patent is a lot of work, I imagine.

How would you even recognize the assignment of property rights to a big box of numbers?

And even if you did, it's entirely inanimate, how would it even exercise them?

Those applications cost money and would create thousands of jobs for displaced AI workers.
