License to Learn Trends in Artificial Intelligence and IP Licensing | Video Replay

This panel, a segment from the 2025 EASL Annual Meeting, will tackle the new licensing and usage challenges facing content owners, platforms, marketing companies and AI developers, in newspaper and book publishing, photography, music, film, and other industries. We will discuss issues concerning questions around licensing training data to large language models (LLMs), AI output ownership, and fair use in the AI era. How should licensing models adapt to cover AI training and deployment? What strategies are emerging for negotiating AI rights in author and talent agreements, and content licenses and marketing agency agreements? The discussion will examine recent litigation including cases against major AI companies, evolving industry standards for AI model training, and proposed frameworks for compensating rightsholders.
