Intellectual Property
Overview
The rise of generative AI challenges traditional concepts of authorship and ownership. Businesses seek to harness AI-generated content while protecting IP rights, making robust due diligence essential to avoid infringements. This includes verifying originality, respecting third-party rights, and ensuring proper licensing. Courts, regulators, and developers are navigating new territory to balance innovation with creators’ rights in the evolving AI landscape.
