About the Session
The EU AI Act is ushering in a new regulatory era for innovation — especially where artificial intelligence intersects with IP, software, data, and design. With new obligations for high-risk AI systems and transparency requirements, legal and IP leaders must rethink innovation protection, licensing, and patent strategy across the EU.
This roundtable convenes senior in-house counsel, IP professionals, and compliance leaders to address:
-
How does the AI Act affect ownership, licensing, and risk exposure for AI-generated content?
-
How are digital innovation strategies adapting to comply with the AI Act and EU copyright law?
-
What safeguards are being implemented to defend trade secrets and proprietary algorithms?
-
How can IP and legal teams influence AI development to reduce compliance liability?
All GC360 members will receive post-event access to the full session recording and practical toolkit via GC360Flix.
