CCC hosted the panel “Licensing Accelerates Responsible AI: Seizing Opportunities in Uncertain Times” at the Frankfurt Book Fair in the Frankfurt Studio on Thursday, 16 October. This session explores the interplay between AI developers, users, and publishers, while sharing practical approaches to licensing.

Panelists include Michael Ellis, President, Newstex, Catriona Stevenson, General Counsel and Deputy CEO, The Publishers Association, and Mark Walford, Vice President, Rights and Business Development, Sage. The panel will be moderated by CCC Managing Director Roy Kaufman.
At this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, CCC featured its AI Systems Training License, a voluntary, non-exclusive collective license for training AI systems. The license provides the rights to lawfully use a wide and diverse repertoire of content for training AI systems for external use. It reduces the complexity and burden of ad hoc negotiations and offers standard terms of use. This streamlined solution supports responsible AI development and compliant use of copyrighted materials.
