    Moral rights and AI - 8 May 2025

    At our next BLACA meeting, we will shed light on the role of moral rights in the context of AI, a topic which has so far been on the periphery of the debate. We will take a look at aspects of moral rights related both to the training of generative AI models and the output and explore whether moral rights are sufficient to protect the personality of authors and performers.

    There will be an account of the international situation by Michele Woods from WIPO together with perspectives from Australia by Associate Professor Catherine Bond (UNSW – via remote recording), the United Kingdom by Professor Tanya Aplin (Kings College London) and from Brazil by Dr Fernanda Galera Soler. BLACA Vice-Chair Brigitte Lindner will moderate the discussion with input from continental-European systems.

    We look forward to discussing these timely issues with our members.

    We hold our seminars at two-month intervals, usually January, March, May, July, September, November.

    Our seminars usually take place on the second Thursday in the month. This may vary depending on the speakers' availability
