Studio Session

Licensing Accelerates Responsible AI: Seizing Opportunities in Uncertain Times

Location: Frankfurt Studio
16 October, 15:00 – 15:50 CET

Responsibly sourced, high-quality content is the essential fuel for trustworthy AI systems. While technology developments accelerate, there are nearly 50 lawsuits, numerous pending pieces of legislation, and ongoing implementations of a variety of regulations, all related to copyright and AI, across the globe.

Licensing solutions are an essential part of the path forward; one that does not force a false choice between respecting copyright and advancing AI. Market-based solutions that are both pro-copyright and pro-AI are the foundation for a sustainable approach that respects the contributions of all parties.

Join this panel to hear industry experts discuss the interplay between AI developers, users, and publishers, debate questions of infringement, fair use, and tolerated uses, and share their experience of practical approaches to licensing.
