Summary

About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

We are hosting a free Info Session on Generative AI and Artist Intellectual Property (IP) Rights on Wednesday, June 4th from 4 - 5 PM PT/ 7 - 8 PM ET to discuss ways that artists can protect their work from being harvested by large language models (LLMS) as well as to propose ways to approach a change in legislation that will include artists in the value stream that is being generated by AI.

This work was presented to artists last year at Comic-Con International, and to the International Council on Systems Engineering INCOSE hosted by INCOSE EWLSE. But in order for it to make meaningful impact, we hope to enable an even broader audience of artists in all genres, programmers, and legislators, to understand that an artist's signature style is developed over time and is a form of cognitive algorithm that deserves copyright protection.

We believe the way to move forward is to reach common ground about the importance of recognizing the new cognitive value stream introduced by AI but generated on artists' work without fair compensation, and creating ethical guidelines for how to move forward in light of this fast-evolving technology.

Our work does not claim to hold the answers, but rather provides a clearly-defined model of the issues at hand; we hope to encourage discussion with a variety of shareholders in various disciplines that may lead to viable, sustainable, and equitable solutions.
