[Global Conversation on AI & Copyright @berkeleylaw]

Delighted to moderate the panel on “Copyright Infringement and the Fair Use Defense” at UC Berkeley’s IP and Human Creativity in the AI Age: A Global Conversation.

The conference brought together voices from Google, Anthropic, academia, and the judiciary to compare how courts and policymakers in the United States, Europe, Korea, and China are confronting the emerging challenges of generative AI. We examined foundational questions around training data and outputs, early judicial rulings, collective licensing, and the technical realities that complicate traditional copyright analysis.

My thanks to Rob Merges, Hao Yuan, and their team for convening a thoughtful and global program. Penn State Dickinson Law’s presence at this convening reflects our commitment to comparative, cross-border conversations at the intersection of law, technology, and policy.
