The use of generative AI in the arts continues to create great uncertainty around copyright–from questions about what constitutes copyright infringement to how authorship is defined. This uncertainty is impacting artists in a myriad of ways, and legal concerns for artists are evolving rapidly. In this three-hour, interactive workshop, Stephanie Drawdy draws on her dual experience as an artist and attorney to introduce fundamental copyright principles and address the uncertainties around those principles due to the use of generative AI in the arts. Practical concerns for artists are at the heart of this workshop without the legalese. Through guided discussion, collaborative exploration and small group interaction, participants will find out how artists’ rights are expanding or contracting amidst the ever-evolving tech landscape. They will leave with more clarity about copyright and how they might best protect their rights in the AI era.
