From Competition to Creative Collaboration: Steering Generative AI to Empower the Image Industry
Join us for an in-depth exploration of how generative AI is reshaping the image licensing industry.
This event builds on last year's discussions, focusing on how we can harness the potential of AI to enhance creativity, protect intellectual property, and build a more collaborative future. Key industry leaders, legal experts, and AI innovators will discuss how we can play a key role in steering AI developers to develop systems that are designed with respect for copyright law, promoting a culture of compliance, collaboration, and responsible AI development that benefits all stakeholders in the image licensing industry.
Attendees will gain insights into how generative AI can support the work of creators and rights holders, ensuring that copyright remains a cornerstone of the industry in this evolving digital landscape.
Whether you're a creative professional, a rights holder, a copyright expert, a picture researcher or an AI enthusiast, this event offers valuable insights into strategies to help you navigate and influence the evolving AI landscape.
Our event programme is still in development, but it will feature an exciting and diverse range of perspectives on the rapidly evolving landscape of image licensing and generative AI. We plan to explore key topics including legal and intellectual property issues, policy implications, and ethical considerations, reflecting the swift changes in this dynamic field.
