Keynote Slides—Maria Strong, United States Copyright Office
As generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems have exploded in popularity, attention has swiftly shifted to the legal implications of training these systems with copyrighted works and the ability of these systems to generate outputs that may resemble or duplicate copyrighted works or mimic the styles of artists. Artists and rightsholders have commenced litigation against many generative AI platforms, and questions remain about the copyrightability of works generated by AI. The intersection of copyright and artificial intelligence has grabbed the attention of Congress, the U.S. Copyright Office, and other policymakers.
This conference will explore the rapidly evolving dynamics shaping the interplay between generative AI and copyright and copyright’s role in intermediating the development of AI technology and its impact on creative industries. The conference will assess the bleeding edge of copyright’s doctrinal application to AI, consider the impact of the law on creators and technologists, and consider future directions for copyright’s intersection with artificial intelligence.
