Abstract:

Our session will examine how AI-generated content is reshaping the boundaries of intellectual property, raising critical questions about authorship, ownership, infringement, and other liability risks.  Understanding copyright ownership of AI-generated outputs, including guidance from the U.S. Copyright Office on standards of human contribution required for protection, is key to developing licensing frameworks.

We will also address considerations when using open-source software in the context of GenAI.

Finally, we will delve into specific licensing implications and provide practical insights on potential legal pitfalls to avoid in this new technological landscape.
