How do existing laws affect AI-assisted art? What types of legal issues arise at each layer of the AI production stack?
Machine learning tools are being adopted by a growing number of artists to assist in the creation of artworks. While we are witnessing new laws and policies being developed to address the risks of AI more generally, several existing areas of law already do interfere with this innovative way of art-making. This talk will explore those existing areas of law - particularly intellectual property, contract and privacy - by analysing the legal issues that can arise at each layer of the AI production stack, from its base physical layers to its various protocol layers. Presented as part of the ongoing research of the Serpentine Legal Lab and Creative AI Lab.
