Who owns ideas? Intellectual property in an age of AI

Wednesday June 11th 16:30-17:30 When algorithms generate ideas, who owns them? Lawyers, designers, and technologists face up to the future of intellectual property – debating whether copyright is a protectionist anachronism that is stifling collaboration or a lifeline for marginalised creators, and whether open-source frameworks can co-exist with fair compensation. Speakers include Christian Zimmermann, CEO of the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), which is dedicated to championing, protecting and managing the rights of artists, and maximising their royalties; Daljit Singh, head of brand at Exactly.ai, an AI platform that aims to help illustrators and designers train models on their own work and thereby put creative control back in their hands; and Agnieszka Glowacka, COO of Haptic Architects London, who leads on some of the practice’s cultural projects, sits on the internal design review panel and teaches at the Bartlett, UCL, on the multidisciplinary Engineering and Architectural Design MEng course. The session will be chaired by technology entrepreneur and creative leader Suhair Khan. Location: The Great Hall, King's College, London This edition of the Global Design Forum is supported by our Digital Media Partner, STIR.
