Welcome to AccelPro IP Law, where we provide interviews and products to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re going to talk with Ryan Abbott about emerging legal perspectives around artificial intelligence and authorship.
Ryan is a Professor of Law & Health Sciences at University of Surrey School of Law & Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. And he is the author of The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law.
The rise of generative artificial intelligence tools is leading to new copyright and IP questions for creators, rights-holders and judges. AI authorship and determining the line between human authorship and machine authorship can be difficult in many cases, and a range of questions exist around copyright and training data for AI tools.
In this interview, Abbott discusses AI and authorship, the Copyright Office and AI, and his own career from medicine to the intersection of technology and copyright law.
