Fusion of AI and Human Talent Puts IP Protection at a Crossroad Original
Imagine a software engineer at a bank is finishing typing the final lines of code for a new system that launches the next day. The build has taken months and involved a team that iterated and tested the system multiple times. That picture is now ancient history. Today’s creators are, and are expected to be, fusing human talent with artificial intelligence. That fusion may be a talent itself, but do these creators deserve the same intellectual property protection?

Debevoise Discusses Malicious Corporate Deepfakes
Content generated by artificial intelligence (“AI”) continues to improve and become more convincing. These realistic images, audio, and videos, where used for purposes of a misrepresentation or to falsely spread information, are commonly dubbed “deepfakes.” Governments around the world are taking notice of deepfakes and beginning to respond.
Regulators Should Treat AI Like Employees To Avoid Stifling Innovation - Employee Rights/ Labour Relations - United States
Key takeaways: Not all AI applications carry significant risks. Rights-based AI regulatory regimes can lead to a misallocation of resources because compliance requires too much effort on low-risk AI (e.g., spam filters, inventory management, etc.) and not enough effort on high-risk AI. Regulators should view AI risk in the same way that companies view employee risk, and adopt regulatory frameworks for AI that are risk based.
