The Rights-Ethics Relationship in the Era of AI

The Rights-Ethics Relationship in the Era of AI

Simone Taylor, Chief, Publishing, American Psychiatric Association

Does technology, and the potentially transformative change it supports, demand a review of copyright and other traditional intellectual property (IP) rights that are exclusively granted to creators to govern how their content is used? This session will deliver an in-depth examination of this important question, the increasingly essential role of traditional principles in the rapidly changing world of AI, and marketplace developments that enable copyrighted content to be used in AI systems in a manner that is responsible, ethical, and respectful of the rights of creators and rightsholders. It will also explore the value of licensing diversification as a vehicle for fairness, accessibility, and trustworthiness.
