The fundamental rules of creativity and ownership, established in law since the time of the printing press, are now collapsing under the weight of Generative AI. Its rapid-fire creation is built upon billions of human-authored works, leading to the “Original Sin” of the algorithm: the unauthorized copying of protected content for training. This conflict has ignited high-stakes lawsuits\u2014from the New York Times<\/em> challenging the AI input phase to the music industry battling against the creation of “almost identical” outputs\u2014forcing the legal system to confront the \u201cAuthorship Challenge\u201d and the threat of voice cloning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us as we explore the legal and ethical price of convenience with our guest, Dr. Andr\u00e9s Guadamuz, a Reader in Intellectual Property Law at the University of Sussex and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of World Intellectual Property<\/em>. Dr. Guadamuz\u2019s groundbreaking research illuminates how centuries-old copyright principles must adapt to find a functional middle way that protects human ingenuity while allowing for technological innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
