Artisan vs. Algorithm: Protecting Human Artistry vs. Leveraging AI Content
75 minute session for Small Business and Nonprofit Conference
The rise of generative AI has created significant legal and ethical friction between original creators and entrepreneurs utilizing AI tools to repurpose existing material, style, and likeness. This session examines the evolving landscape of intellectual property, copyright standards, and emerging federal laws concerning digital cloning and commercial replication. Independent artists and performers will learn how to manage and protect their creative work, while businesses will discover the hidden legal liabilities of commercializing AI assets derived from another person's identity or content.
