How does generative AI challenge and reshape copyright and IP ownership dynamics in the creative industries?

Synopsis: Recent developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have resulted in astounding products and given rise to lawsuits and debates about creative work and intellectual property. This seminar will consider legal issues arising from the use of generative AI in creative and content producing industries, including copyright and IP ownership in AI-produced works, as well as copyright infringement in training or using AI. In this panel with a lawyer, an artist and a creative entrepreneur, the discussion will evolve around practical implications for creatives, content producers and users.

 

This event is free and open to the public.

Jonathan Liu

Jonathan Liu

Respondent

Jonathan Liu is a visual artist working with photography within his practice. He is interested in the way our process of recollection deteriorates, decays and disappears over time. He is keen to explore the potential dialogic and collaborative relationship between the Human and the Non-Human, as well as to dissolve and entangle the objective forms of photographs into subjective experiences through machine learning.  By working with generative adversarial networks and manipulating various forms of photographic mediums, he questions photography's relationship with technology. Through his representation and fragmentation of the landscape, he is interested to show the fallibility of the process of recollection as well as the search for the romantic sublime within. He has exhibited internationally and lectures with the Design Communication and Fine Arts faculties of LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. He is the recipient of the NAC Arts Scholarship in 2023 and is currently pursuing an MA in Fine Arts.
