This Course
Artificial intelligence is transforming creative and legal landscapes, while continuing to raise critical questions about authorship, ownership, and liability. This one-hour CLE will provide an in-depth look at recent (2025) case law and regulatory developments at the intersection of copyright and AI. Our two featured speakers will cover key decisions, including A Single Piece of American Cheese — the first work entirely created with AI-generated materials to receive copyright protection from the U.S. Copyright Office — and Kadrey v. Meta, Bartz v. Anthropic – two of the most recent cases to reach a decision or settlement amongst the many other dozens pending in courts around the
world.
Our moderator will lead a thought-provoking conversation with the speakers, exploring the broader implications of these cases, emerging trends, and practical considerations for legal practitioners. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how courts and regulators are addressing AI-generated works and what these developments mean for creators, platforms, and their counsel.
