Description
This session will set the scene of ‘AI Day’ by outlining and discussing what artificial intelligence (AI) is and why it is different to existing technologies like software and hardware. It will also touch on the potential impact for certain fundamental legal principles that have formed the basis of modern trade across the globe, such as liability and contracting certainty. The session will then move onto a more focused debate on the potential impacts of AI on the creative industries, including media and art, and will investigate whether machines can own copyright in works and patent new industrial processes – all of which have been created by robotic autonomous systems acting without human involvement.
