Legal & Psychodynamic Perspectives on AI Adoption in Entertainment: Risks, Realities, and Responsible Use

A psychoanalyst and leadership advisor with expertise in the psycho-social dimensions of AI and a professional mediator with deep experience advising artists, studios, and industry stakeholders will explore how AI is reshaping Hollywood from both legal and psychodynamic perspectives. Together, they will examine why creativity and authorship matter so fundamentally to human beings, how AI is altering artists' emotional relationships with their work, and what these shifts mean for the lawyers navigating the resulting disputes, negotiations, and ethical dilemmas. Attorneys will leave with a richer framework for understanding the psychological undercurrents driving their clients' concerns — and how to apply that understanding to contract negotiations, rights protection, and the evolving tensions between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
