The copyright you keep: what collaboration with AI means for your creative works

Among the things that AI has generated includes fractious arguments as to whether AI-assisted creative works are protected under a country’s copyright law.

Join us for a short lecture from our community members, followed by an open discussion and meal/drinks at a local bar.
