Summary
Generative AI presents some unique challenges to our legal thinking about authorship. We will have a look at current copyright law as applied to generative AI, identifying where legal frameworks fall short or conflict with educational values. We’ll explore unresolved legal questions, recent litigation, and statutory gaps while discussing how faculty and student ethical concerns about authorship, attribution, and creative ownership often diverge from existing legal protections and remedies.
