Upcoming PIJIP Conference "Mapping Copyright's Application to Generative AI"
September 11, 2023
The upcoming PIJIP conference Mapping Copyright’s Application to Generative AI will explain and discuss the specific legal issues presented by generative artificial intelligence under US copyright law and feature a talk by Professor Peter Jaszi and a panel moderated by Professor Michael Carroll.
Modern copyright law arose when existing modes of regulation for information technology proved inadequate to meet the challenge of transformative information technology. Over the last 200 years, by contrast, the copyright system has met other such challenges – from the rise of electronic mass media to the digital turn in expression, more or less successfully – often by adapting or even fictionalizing existing doctrine. Now, we are asked to consider what adjustments may be required to accommodate Generative Artificial Intelligence, the next new technology to challenge the doctrinal paradigm of copyright.
