Prof. Lee’s presentation will explore legal challenges pertaining to the unauthorized use of information as training data for large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The discourse will examine various causes of action, such as unjust enrichment, publicity rights, personality rights, and copyright infringement, as observed in litigations over the past two years across multiple jurisdictions. Furthermore, Professor Lee will elucidate how existing copyright practices and debates have laid a solid foundation for legal reforms that extend beyond copyright law, aimed at aligning the interests of a broad spectrum of stakeholders amidst the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology.
