AI & the Law: A "Deep Dive" - Fair Use, Copyright and the Doctrine of Innovation
The guilds settled. The lawsuits continue. And the fundamental question at the heart of the AI and entertainment industry debate remains stubbornly unresolved — does innovation have the right to override the protections that creative professionals have spent a century building? The core issues go far beyond compensation. Data training, ownership, creative control, deepfake technology, political disinformation, revenge porn and the wholesale misuse of intellectual property are all converging simultaneously on a legal framework that was never designed to handle any of them. At the same time the creative opportunities — educational access, freedom of expression, reduced barriers to entry — are real and significant. In this deep dive we ask whether existing copyright law, right of publicity and current regulations are anywhere near sufficient for what artificial intelligence is already doing.
