AI and Intellectual Property in Film and Television: Ownership, Rights, and Risk

About this program
This panel will examine how generative AI is reshaping intellectual property law across the film and television industries, covering questions of ownership in AI-generated scripts, images, and music, as well as how training data, moral rights, and copyright exceptions apply throughout production and distribution. Drawing on perspectives from Greece, the UK, and the US, the panel will explore how these legal frameworks intersect — and where they diverge — across jurisdictions that entertainment practitioners increasingly navigate together. Attorneys and industry professionals will leave with practical guidance on contract and licensing strategies for AI training and outputs, along with risk management approaches for producers, creators, and counsel working in an AI-driven production landscape.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1.25 hours of General credit in California. It aired March 23, 2026 and features Sarah Cundall, Thanos Leontaris, and Michael Peters.
