Copyright and Artificial Intelligence: The Evolving Law, presented by BLAZE IP and Innovation Factory

Artificial Intelligence and Copyright Law with BLAZE IP

Join BLAZE IP for a comprehensive overview of copyright law in an evolving digital economy, focusing on how AI-generated works are treated under copyright law and the implications for entrepreneurs and businesses.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to produce new works presents a unique challenge to copyright law, which was originally designed to protect the creations of human authors. Courts and governments around the world are grappling with the complexities of applying existing copyright law to the ‘works’ produced by this new technology.

What you’ll learn:

  • Gain valuable insights into the current state of Canadian law governing copyright for works produced by artificial intelligence.
  • Learn about potential risks associated with AI-generated works and what may or may not qualify for copyright protection.
  • How to navigate the intellectual property landscape effectively and to make informed decisions about the use of AI in your operations.

Who should attend:

Any entrepreneur who is using or contemplating the use of artificial intelligence in their business should attend to ensure that they understand the limits of copyright law in protecting any ownership or other exclusive rights in the works produced by such software.
