OBA Entertainment, Media and Communications Law and Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the creation, use, and commercialization of content in the entertainment, media, and music industries, significant copyright challenges and legal issues are coming to the forefront. Join us as we examine key legal questions at the intersection of copyright law and AI technologies in these content-driven sectors, specifically:

• Copyright Protection of AI-Generated Content – whether and how works produced by AI systems qualify for copyright protection, who (if anyone) can claim authorship, and the implications for rights management and enforcement.
• Use of Copyrighted Works to Train AI – legal implications and risks of using copyrighted materials to train AI models, and potential liability resulting from an AI system using copyrighted works.

Our expert panel will provide valuable insights into the current state of Canadian law, as well as a comparative look at emerging case law and legal frameworks in other jurisdictions.

Register now and gain practical guidance to confidently navigate the copyright challenges of the AI era.
