The EU Artificial Intelligence Act: What Copyright Lawyers Should Know
The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act is the first comprehensive piece of AI regulation, and will have a global impact due to its extraterritorial reach, and as a source of inspiration for other regulators. While intellectual property issues are not at the front and center in the legislative approach, the AIA does refer to copyright provisions and provides some guardrails for general purpose (generative) AI. The talk explains these rules in the context of the overall regulation and their roots in harmonized EU copyright law.
