Unlocking the Secret: How Blanket Licensing Could Revolutionize Generative AI—and What It Means for You
Elizabeth: This has been such a fun experience, and I’m so glad to be co- editing with Bill. The panels and keynote bring such amazing insight into this new world of AI. Thank you to our Copyright Society Fellows editing team, including law students Tess Bradley, Kristin Ivey, Holly Haney, and Brijan Kana.
Part II then publishes the 20th Annual Christopher Meyer Lecture from 2023, delivered by Justin Hughes, looking into “Intellectual Property and the Creature of Generative AI.”
Then, in Part III, we then turn a number of Articles related to AI, starting with “The Heart of the Matter: Copyright, AI Training and LLMS,” authored by Daniel Gervais, Haralambos Marmanis, Noam Shemtov, and Catherine Zaller Rowland, which explains the technology of large language models (LLMs), and then analysis of copyright laws in a comparative and international perspective. We then have Dr. Barry Scannell’s piece, “All Ais on the EU AI Act’s Copyright Provisions: Navigating a New Legal Frontier,” which looks in particular at Article 53 and Recital 106 of the EU AI Act. We move on to Brian Frye’s AI-generated piece on AI and Copyright, “Apologia Pro Plagio Suo,” which is a fun and very positive read on AI written with the help of AI. We then asked Amy L. Landers to write a piece, “Attention Copyright Experts: Patent Changes That Must On Your Radar.” And then we end the articles section with a piece by Elizabeth Townsend Gard and Bijou Mgbojikwe, “The Copyright Office and the First Two AI Reports,” which looks at the beginning responses of the U.S. Copyright Office to AI, including the Copyright Registration Guidance and the first AI report on deepfakes. In the tradition of the Journal, it includes excerpts from both to keep our readership up to date.
