Generative Artificial Intelligence and Copyright

Thursday, September 14, 2023, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM, Open Science Café with Elena Giglia and Simone Aliprandi

We have long been accustomed to hardware and software systems capable of automating many activities, but in recent months, technological innovation has taken a further step, breaking down the last barrier: that of creativity. Indeed, platforms and algorithms that can emulate the human creative process are now available to everyone, allowing us to create (even without specific skills) texts, images, and music of good quality, which are difficult to distinguish from those created entirely by humans. How does copyright law address this disruptive phenomenon? How can we regulate usage rights in a world where creativity is increasingly mediated by machines?
