Copyright and Generative AI: Where are we going?

May 30, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

The widespread use of generative AI has raised complex copyright issues related to both the training data used and the outputs produced by these tools. Canada has not yet amended its copyright law in response. This event will explore those copyright issues, and possible solutions under consideration.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the copyright issues posed by Generative AI

2. Review possible solutions

Speaker: Dr. Jean Dryden

Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto
