About the Organizers
Hidayatullah National Law University, Nava Raipur, through its School of Law and Technology and Centre for Internet Governance and Artificial Intelligence (CIGAI), is organising a webinar on copyright protection of AI-generated works.
The School of Law and Technology focuses on the intersection of law, technology, policy, and society. CIGAI engages with emerging legal and policy issues relating to artificial intelligence, internet governance, and cybersecurity.
The webinar is part of EX ARCA, HNLU’s outreach platform for the student community and the legal fraternity. EX ARCA is a blended platform for the dissemination of the interface of arts and humanities, social sciences, science and technology, management, and law.
About the Webinar
The webinar is titled “Copyright Protection of AI-Generated Works: Emerging Legal Challenges in India and Comparative Jurisdictions.”
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence tools, including ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney, has transformed the creation of literary, artistic, musical, and other creative works. The webinar will examine the legal questions arising from AI-generated and AI-assisted works, including authorship, copyright ownership, and the protection of intellectual property.
The discussion will also consider Section 2(d)(vi) of the Copyright Act, 1957, which addresses computer-generated works, and emerging legal developments in India and other jurisdictions.
Objectives
The webinar will examine authorship and copyright ownership in AI-generated and AI-assisted creative works, the eligibility of AI-generated works for copyright protection, and the legal position concerning ownership among AI developers, users, and human contributors.
It will also address the use of copyrighted works for training generative AI models, compare developments in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other jurisdictions, and consider the need for legal reforms and policy measures.
