AI and Copyright Update: Navigating Cross-Border Artificial Intelligence

Generative AI is testing copyright law on both sides of the Pacific, and courts in the U.S. and China are reaching their own answers on authorship, training data, and liability for AI outputs.

Moderated by Keith Kelly of Sheppard, the panel gives attorneys practical strategies for advising clients whose content, likeness, or technology crosses international lines.
