“AI & Legal Challenges”
This presentation will explore how AI-generated content and machine learning could create issues around intellectual property, both in terms of intellectual property ownership, as well as enforcement of intellectual property where AI is concerned. Furthermore, this presentation will identify new risks to trade secrets posed by AI, including generative models, and explore strategies and policies for deploying AI systems in a manner that leverages the power of these new systems, while also protecting trade secret information and demonstrating reasonable efforts to maintain their secrecy.

“The Conservative Feminist, A Study of the Life and Jurisprudence of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor”
In this presentation, we will pay loving tribute to the life of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and the oversized role the first female Justice on the United States Supreme Court played in the development of modern jurisprudence. Beginning with her early career and life influences, moving to her appointment, and finally to her retirement, we will examine whether Justice O’Connor was successful in balancing the competing and seemingly opposing claims of feminism and conservativism, or whether she simply served in the traditional role of a political moderate. We will examine difficult and divisive cases including abortion (Roe v. Wade, Casey, and progeny), Proposition 209, The Florida Recount (Bush v. Gore), and the like. The presentation will include some personal anecdotes designed to give the listener a greater understanding of just who Justice O’Connor was as a person as well as a lawyer.”
Speaker: Matt Stowe, Of Counsel, PorterWright

Break

4:20 – 5:20 p.m.
“Beyond the Brand: Exploring the Legal & Business Dynamics of Name, Image and Likeness”
Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has changed the rules of college (and high school) athletics. College student-athletes (and some high school student-athletes) are now allowed to earn compensation from the licensing of their NIL to third parties. This presentation will discuss the legal path to NIL’s approval as well as explore the current legal landscape with respect to the differing state laws that impact NIL. This presentation will help equip corporate counsel with the legal guidelines required for NIL contracts and highlight various provisions to watch out for when drafting such contracts. Finally, the discussion will conclude with a forecast of what the future regulatory and legal landscape will entail in this.

Speaker: Luke Fedlam, Partner, PorterWright
