This event is not open to the public.

Join Art Law Society, Rights Over Tech, and IPELS for The Bot Made Me Do It: AI Art and the Law with Atreya Mathur, Director of Legal Research at the Center for Art Law! When an algorithm generates artwork, who gets the credit and who gets sued? Join Atreya Mathur (Director of Legal Research, Center for Art Law) in exploring how artificial intelligence is being used across the creative industries, and the legal, ethical, and moral challenges that follow. The session will focus on copyright ownership, infringement, and fair use, while also examining broader questions about authorship, artistic labor, and creative integrity. Drawing on examples from working artists and current court battles, this discussion offers a practical roadmap to understanding how the law is responding to creative machines. FOOD PROVIDED! RSVP here. SPACE IS LIMITED!
