Overview

Join us for a discussion on the legal, ethical and business issues arising from the increasing adoption of AI-enabled technology in the media and entertainment industries.

Our panel of entertainment and media lawyers will discuss these developments including:

The application of copyright law to the training of AI systems and AI-generated content
Issues related to the use of performers’ images and voices by AI
Ethical considerations for news media using AI
