Inventorship and Authorship in the Age of Generative AI

Online event

Generative AI is a valuable tool for solving technical challenges and creating new artifacts that enhance human creativity. However, the use of generative AI also poses a number of formidable intellectual property challenges.

Who owns the rights to AI-generated inventions or the copyrights to AI-generated images? Can copyrighted material (such as online news and blog writings) be used to train algorithms? Can one be held liable for using AI-generated code drawn from proprietary software? Is a biometric identification system for public surveillance a legitimately patentable item? 

The panel discussion “Inventorship and Authorship in the Age of Generative AI” addresses these and other thorny questions, offering insights into the legal and technical aspects, as well as ethical considerations, which the EU Artificial Intelligence Act approved on March 2024 has only started to address.
The panel brings together leading voices from academia, law, and technology to offer the audience some of the latest advances. We invite attendees to participate in this dialogue through thoughtful discussion and inquiry, forging paths toward clarity and consensus.
