Artificial intelligence is an increasingly present force
in everyday life and one that is currently attracting the attention of
regulatory bodies around the world. The US Copyright Office, the
Canadian Government and others have all launched consultations this
year to examine the issues. Equally Sweden is starting to take an interest in this topic. In this panel discussion, we are joined by Swedish authorities and copyright experts who will highlight some of the opportunities and risks
associated with the incorporation of AI into creative industries, as
well as consider implications for makers, users and the broader
copyright system. This promises to be a timely and enlightening
discussion.
