With the ability to create novel and realistic content such as images, music, and even text, GenAI has the potential to revolutionize multiple industries, including creation of music, images, and other forms of content. GenAI impacts innovation and creation and thus raises diverse IP questions, such as how IP can protect AI models, the interrelationship between data input and the questions around IP protection for AI output.
The Eighth Session of the WIPO Conversation sought to bring together all stakeholders to discuss these important issues, to help establish best practices for the protection of creative works in the digital age, and to provide a map for navigating the challenges brought to the copyright system by GenAI.
