The Issues: The mainstream and everyday use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is expanding quickly in many industries and sectors. However, generative AI platforms raise some challenging intellectual property and other legal risks that need to be managed. We are starting to see regulatory responses to this new technology area that will need to be navigated as well.

Takeaways: You will leave this workshop with practical insights and actions relating to:

• Does the use of generative AI tools in your organisation place your organisation’s IP at risk and, if so, how can this be addressed?
• Does your organisation own the IP in material created using generative AI tools?
• Does the use by your organisation of generative AI tools create legal risks of infringing the IP of others?
• What sort of internal and external procedures, policies and approvals need to be in place for the use of generative AI tools in your organisation?
