Michelle Sara King, IP Watchdog; WIPO and U.S. Copyright Office Team Up to Talk Copyright in the Age of AI
"Earlier this month, the U.S. Copyright Office and the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) held a joint event titled, “Copyright in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”
(AI) at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The event explored
how global copyright law and intellectual property law, as well as
broader policy, may currently address AI technology, and included
dialogue about changes that may be needed. Panelists also shared how AI
is being utilized now and what future technology deployment and
innovation may look like.
The event was part of a series of conversations organized by the U.S,
Copyright Office and WIPO both in the United States and Europe, with
the next conversation scheduled for May 11 and 12 in Geneva,
Switzerland. The summit illustrated that AI presents unique
opportunities for innovation, assuming intellectual property rights are
respected, but questions remain in several areas, including whether
machine learning is producing “original” work and whether the product of
such software is inherently reproductive, derivative or the result of a
system or process devoid of human action."
Issues and developments related to IP, AI, and OM, examined in the IP and tech ethics graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology", coming in Summer 2025, includes major chapters on IP, AI, OM, and other emerging technologies (IoT, drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR).
