FiF Forum 2024: “AI and Copyright – Is human creativity falling by the wayside?”
on December 12 | Lecture Hall ULB | 18:15 to 20:00
Lecture and discussion
Since the launch of Chat GPT, there has been a lot of hype regarding artificial intelligence (AI).
The possibilities resulting from the development of the technology, or which can be expected, seem overwhelming.
Many administrative, medical, legal and scientific processes are carried out by AI with breathtaking speed. People marvel at the generation of texts and images, which can also be fakes or deepfakes.
This touches on ethical issues and, of course, copyright issues. However, generative AI can only achieve what it does by being ‘trained’ with enormous amounts of data.
And what about the rights of the authors of this data? On the other hand, can the ‘output’ produced by AI claim copyright protection? In many respects, this raises questions about the rights and protection of human creativity. This FiF Forum is dedicated to these issues.
