Spring 2023 AI Listening Sessions

In spring 2023, the Copyright Office hosted four virtual listening sessions on the use of artificial intelligence to generate works in creative fields. Copyright Office staff asked participants to discuss their hopes, concerns, and questions about generative AI and copyright law. The sessions were fully remote and focused on literary works, including print journalism and software; visual arts; audiovisual works; and music and sound recordings.
