SUMMARY:Executive Course IP and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:This intensive two-day course provides a comprehensive\, comparative analysis of the evolving legal and policy landscape at the intersection of Intellectual Property (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Participants will explore pressing legal challenges\, including the copyright protection for AI training data\, the patentability and copyright of AI-generated outputs\, and the balance between proprietary interests and the public interest in research (Text and Data Mining and computational research) and the development of Public AI and Just AI. \nUse the link below to apply for a scholarship. Priority in the awarding of scholarships will be given to policy makers from the Global South and stakeholders who are working on AI and copyright reform in the public interest. \n\n\n\n    \n\nThe course will feature in-depth comparative analysis of legal frameworks and policy proposals across the European Union (EU)\, United States (USA)\, India\, Brazil\, Singapore\, Japan\, and in international forums\, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization\, World Trade Organization and other agencies. \nEnroll on the course without applying for a scholarship on the website of the Geneva Graduate Institute here. \nThe learning experience will culminate in a practical role-play exercise in which students will draft a model international legal instrument aimed at ensuring fair remuneration for creators while safeguarding the rights of researchers and public interest organizations developing AI infrastructure. This legal instrument will focus on  a range of factors to be used in distinguishing research and public interest uses of AI from commercial competitive uses.
