SUMMARY:Copyright\, Fair Use\, and Artificial Intelligence: Rules of the Road
DESCRIPTION:Learn more and register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/copyright-fair-use-and-artificial-intelligence-rules-of-the-road-tickets-976458974077?aff=oddtdtcreator \nJoin us for this seminar to learn about what you can do to ensure that you receive and maintain the full benefits of your creative efforts. \nCo-hosted by UNM Rainforest Innovations\, UNM Fine Arts and UNM School of Architecture & Planning. \nThe creative process breeds intellectual properties largely automatically\, at no cost\, and without the involvement of lawyers. This presentation will discuss how this happens and what you can do to ensure that you receive and maintain the full benefits of your creative efforts. The focus will be on Copyright but other intellectual properties will be discussed – particularly to place this important right in a greater context. In the U.S. and other countries\, creatives are permitted to make a Fair Use of others’ intellectual properties. How far can a creative use this important will be discussed particularly in light of the guidance provided last year by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Andy Warhol case. Finally\, another important tool – Artificial Intelligence – will be discussed. We will examine how this tool can be used to bring benefit to you and how this same tool can put you in the unenviable position of infringer. Two important AI tools – ChatGPT and Midjourney – will be discussed plus others. Bring your questions. They will be answered throughout the presentation and afterward. \nThe first module will focus on the Creative Process and how it breeds intellectual properties. 4 intellectual properties – trade secrets/know how\, copyright\, trademark\, and the right of publicity – are produced during the process. They all are protected automatically at no cost and without a lawyer being involved. (Only patents require the expenditure of money and the involvement of lawyers.) \nThe second module will be on Fair Use. This is a term widely used on campuses\, yet it is typically misunderstood. Chuck will discuss what is copyright and trademark fair use. He will also talk about the Andy Warhol case decided last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. \nThe third module will be on Artificial Intelligence and the use of this tool on the protection of what results from the Creative Process. Chuck will go over some AI systems beyond ChatGPT and the advantages and disadvantages of them. \nThis HYBRID event is offered in-person at the Lobo Rainforest Building and virtually via Zoom. \nPlease only register if you plan to attend IN-PERSON \nIf you plan to attend via Zoom\, you can join virtually using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82590022605 \nAbout Charles Valauskas: \nCharles Valauskas is a partner in the Chicago law firm\, Valauskas Corder LLC. \nMr. Valauskas speaks on a regular basis throughout the world on technological and intellectual property topics.
