Since the November 2022 release of ChatGPT, millions of users have availed of (and often passively contributed to) artificial neural network models underlying “generative artificial intelligence” (GAI) which support a wide range of credible content creation and, particularly in increasing agentic applications, may impact global security. Headline lawsuits over improper use of copyrighted or otherwise protected content for creation/training and deployment of these models are slowly moving towards trial.
In June 2025, two judges of the Northern District of California granted summary judgments under different analyses of “fair use” of copyrighted literary works in training of different “large language” GAI models in Bartz v. Anthropic (Claude) and Kadrey v. Meta Platforms (LLaMA).
These decisions inform licensing and other commercial expectations for GAI developers, users, and content owners. Hear the panelists, who are active in AI policy development and business strategy and transaction counseling, share knowledge and tools to navigate compliance risks and licensing strategies.
