Event details
Art and Authorship: From Warhol to the Creativity Machine
United States Register of Copyright (Director of the Copyright Office) Shira Perlmutter presents the 2022 Francis Gurry Lecture on Intellectual Property.
The development of artificial intelligence capable of producing appealing works of music, visual art, and poetry is challenging traditional concepts of authorship, with test cases being brought in the United States and other jurisdictions around the world.
Register Perlmutter will discuss what is at stake in these cases, and their implications for copyright more broadly.
