Generative AI is a transformative technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume content. However, it raises a number of complex copyright concerns. In this talk, I will discuss the key concepts of generative AI, the current status quo, and the challenges that generative AI poses for copyright protection. I will also discuss potential technical solutions for protecting the copyright of artists in the age of generative AI.
