Fair Use and Generative AI: Navigating Legal Frontiers
Tue, Sep 30, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
Preserving the incentive for human beings to create artistic and scientific works is the lodestar of copyright law. Recent court decisions in many ongoing cases related to the use of copyrighted materials for AI training data continue to stir conversation and controversy around the four fair use factors. Based on these decisions, training on copyrighted texts is now endorsed as fair use by at least one court, which is a major gain for AI developers. However, other courts may disagree, and using pirated sources to train the AI models still carries risk. Ultimately, there is no distinct, final precedent stating all AI training is or is not fair use and facts are evolving at a rapid pace. As noted in the May 2025, U.S. Copyright Office publication Copyright and Artificial Intelligence Part 3: Generative AI Training, “These groundbreaking technologies should benefit both the innovators who design them and the creators whose content fuels them, as well as the general public.”
In this lunch and learn discussion, we bring together a technologist and an IP attorney and a father and son. Join Mark Gross, president of Data Conversion Laboratory, and his son Daniel Gross, Partner at Myers Wolin, LLC as they discuss the legal implications from these decisions and finding the balance that benefits the technology innovators as well as the content creators.
One CLE credit will be offered for attending this live webinar.
