[Speaking on Copyright and AI at TechLaw.Fest 2025]

Honored to join the “Copyright in a Generative Age” panel at TechLaw.Fest next week.

The event is celebrating its 10th anniversary as Asia’s premier law and technology conference. Kudos to Singapore Academy of Law Chief Executive Officer Zee Kin Yeong and his team!

Led by Dr Stanley Lai, SC (Allen & Gledhill LLP), my conversation with Trina Ha (Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS)), Jeffrey Lim (Joyce A Tan & Partners LLC), Janet Chiew (IMDA), and Chaonan Wang (Huawei) will tackle some of the most pressing issues at the intersection of copyright and generative AI, including:

– How access control measures and watermarks can bolster copyright protection in large language models.

– The question of liability across the AI ecosystem—from model providers to users.

– How U.S. fair use doctrine is evolving in cases involving Anthropic, Meta, and others.

– The challenge of substantial similarity, derivative works, and “style mimicry” in AI-generated content.

– The shifting boundary between human creativity and machine assistance.

With more than 2,000 participants from over 40 countries, including judges, policymakers, practitioners, academics, and industry leaders, TechLaw.Fest offers a global platform for exchanging ideas and shaping the future of law and technology.
