A conversation with Pamela Samuelson, the Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law and Information at the University of California, Berkeley.
Creators and copyright owners have been buffeted by disruptive technology more than once in recent decades, but none has been quite as disorienting as generative AI. An AI’s ability to learn how to conjure images, text and music that closely resembles the work of human artists and authors in a matter of seconds has raised confounding questions as to whether and how the new technology can be reconciled with existing copyright law and with notions of authorship and creativity. A renowned copyright scholar and attorney, Professor Samuelson’s has been a prominent, and at times controversial, voice in the debate on AI, innovation and copyright.
