FRANKLIN GRAVES, IP Watchdog; U.S. Copyright Office Generative AI Event: Three Key Takeaways
"There’s a need for guidance and insight when it comes to the use of AI and ML technologies, including generative AI technologies, as evidenced by the more than 150 audience questions received during the live stream. The Office also noted that 1,500 people attended the virtual meeting. While the event focused exclusively on registration and protection of the output of generative AI tools, it’s important to remember there are additional issues along the entire lifecycle of generative AI.
At the end of the event, the USCO announced its next public webinar, “International Copyright Issues and Artificial Intelligence,” scheduled for July 26, 2023. The discussion will cover not only authorship but also training and infringement. Additionally, the event will feature leading international experts, including Columbia Law School’s Jane Ginsburg, the University of Sussex’s Andres Guadamuz, the University of Amsterdam’s Bernt Hugenholtz, and KU Leuven’s Luca Schirru, and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya’s Raquel Xalabarder Plantada."
