Copyright, Technology & AI

Join Professor Ghirardelli's virtual Master Class:

Artificial intelligence is reshaping creativity—but copyright law is struggling to keep up. This class examines how U.S. copyright law responds to AI-generated content, large-scale data training, and automated platforms, with a focus on fair use and DMCA Section 512. We will explore who (if anyone) owns AI-generated works, how platforms manage risk through takedown systems, and why Section 512 remains one of the most powerful—and controversial—tools in the digital economy. The session connects doctrine to current debates shaping technology companies, creators, and global markets.
