Lemley (Stanford University)About this EventThe warmly invites you to a public lecture by Professor Mark A. Lemley on Copyright Law and Generative AI.Courts around the world are considering a variety of different copyright issues that will shape the future of generative AI. Over one hundred lawsuits are pending, and more are coming. The implications are enormous. How these disputes are resolved will determine whether AI models are legal at all, how they will be trained, and what the future of copyright in creativity will be. Answering those questions depends not only on unresolved legal issues but on how generative AI systems behave – an issue we know surprisingly little about. In this talk, Professor Mark A. Lemley will discuss the state of the law and the state of the computer science research into AI models and what they mean for the future of AI.Professor Mark A. LemleyMark Lemley is the William H.
