We live in a time when technology is changing the rules of the game faster than ever before. Join us for a workshop where we will learn how the foundations of copyright law have come under unprecedented pressure with the transition to the digital environment and the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI).

The lecture will comprehensively shed light on how the modern copyright system works – from the fundamental difference between moral and economic rights and the classic challenges of digital piracy, to the pressing questions raised by artificial intelligence.

  • Copyright Basics: Why do we distinguish between the author’s personal connection to the work (moral rights) and economic exploitation (property rights)?
  • Model Learning and Intellectual Property: Is Capturing Copyrighted Works from the Internet for AI Training an Algorithm of Theft or Fair Use?
  • Who owns AI-creativity?Why does the  law stipulate that an author can only be a human being, and where are the boundaries between a tool and independent creation.
  • Protecting Style and Creator Survival: How AI Is Imitating Artists and Threatening Their Unique Visibility.
  • Future and regulation: What solutions do the European legislation (AI Act) and new licensing models and technical protections bring?

Join us and discover how we can strike a balance between technological progress and fair protection of creators in the modern digital ecosystem!
