Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Australia
ACC Australia and K&L Gates present the next session in our series on the interaction of AI and IP. AI is reshaping the way we interact and work. AI has significant implications for the creation and use of intellectual property.
In this session, we explore ownership of AI generated material, the potential of AI models to infringe copyrights of others, and how the Australian government is responding to IP-related risks presented by AI. We also provide some practical tips for implementing robust AI governance in the workplace so organisations can use AI to remain competitive and productive, whilst minimising its risks.
This seminar will cover:
1. Who owns the IP in AI-generated works?
2. Do AI-models infringe copyright?
3. The current regulatory position in Australia
4. Steps to take when using AI in the workplace
