Seoul Copyright Forum to Explore Ways for Generative AI and Copyright to Coexist
Examines policy responses in the United States, China, and South Korea
Discusses ways for industry and academia to foster mutual growth
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Commission will hold the Seoul Copyright Forum on Thursday, November 12, at the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel, focusing on generative artificial intelligence (AI) and copyright.
The event will take an international look at the latest developments in copyright laws and systems. This year, it will focus on issues triggered by generative AI. As protecting creators and ensuring fair compensation during AI training and output generation, while supporting industry growth, have emerged as pressing issues, the forum will share legal and court precedent developments in leading countries and explore ways to foster mutual growth.
First, the forum will examine copyright policy responses in the United States, China, and South Korea, which are leading the AI industry. Stephen Teb, CEO of Sentinel Worldwide; Professor Chen Xiaoling of the Graduate School of Intellectual Property at East China University of Political Science and Law; and Park Hyunseong, director of the Copyright Policy Division at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, will present on each country's laws, systems, and policies.
Industry and academic representatives will discuss ways for AI and copyright to coexist from their respective perspectives. Presenters will include Adrienne Timar, a copyright lawyer at Google; Professor Park Junwoo of Sogang University Law School; Lee Jongpil, CEO of Newtune; and Sarah Tran, regional policy and external relations director at the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO).
Professor Cha Sangyuk of Kyungpook National University Law School will moderate the ensuing panel discussion. Together with domestic and international speakers and attendees, the panel will discuss solutions to international issues arising at the intersection of generative AI and copyright.
