In collaboration with the Columbia-Sorbonne Alliance, the Kernochan Center's annual symposium will examine the problems created by AI-generated deepfakes and analyze domestic and international IP laws in search of potential solutions. Scholars and industry leaders from the United States, the European Union, and the Commonwealth will consider the adequacy of current IP frameworks to address deepfakes, the role of transparency obligations, and potential enforcement and liability mechanisms.
