Government Relations and the Copyright Advisory Committee are inviting you to a consultation on copyright and artificial intelligence. The feedback provided in this consultation will help us prepare an institutional response to the federal government survey.
The government is looking for guidance as it considers updating legislation, including the Copyright Act to be responsive to the "the changing technological landscape, including the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies." The survey asks for comments on three areas:
- use of copyright protected works in the training of AI systems;
- authorship and ownership rights related to AI-generated content; and
- liability, especially when AI-generated content could infringe existing copyright-protected works.
You can read more about these areas in the government's consultation paper.
We're hosting an open forum via Teams on Friday, November 17. Register now!
Regardless of whether you can attend, we'd encourage you to respond to the survey as an individual. The government is looking for feedback from a broad range of groups, including content creators and academic experts.
