From there, the discussion will dive into the legal challenges that arise when AI interacts with copyright law, including questions of authorship, originality, and ownership. The panel will also address the ethical dimensions of generative AI in the creative process, considering issues such as bias, accountability, and the broader implications for artists and society.
