Artificial
intelligence (AI) is expected to produce a new wave of innovation and
creativity, while presenting unique challenges in the area of
intellectual property.
On Wednesday, Dec. 5, in the Madison Auditorium of our Alexandria, Virginia headquarters, we will
convene an all-day program titled, “Artificial Intelligence:
Intellectual Property Policy Considerations.” This public program will
feature six panels composed of leading thinkers, policy makers,
academics, and practitioners who will examine the growing capabilities
of AI, its potential economic impacts, and implications for IP policy
and law. The program will be webcast.
Bruce Boyden from Marquette University Law School, Jule Sigall from Microsoft, Joe Gratz from Durie Tangri, and Mary Rasenberger
from The Authors’ Guild will discuss the copyright implications when AI
is used to create new works or when copyrighted works are used to
“train” AI systems.
An
exhibit hall featuring booths from a number of companies and
institutions showcasing their AI technologies will run concurrently with
the program.
