Artificial Intelligence and Copyright in Practice: What Lawyers Need to Know in 2026

Course overview

This seminar provides a practical introduction to the intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and copyright in 2026.

The content considers the position of lawyers advising their clients in a rapidly developing and changing area, and key questions such as:

 Who owns AI-assisted or AI-created work?

 What counts as an “original” work when machines are involved in the generation process?

 How is training data being treated?

 Can AI outputs create copyright risk?

The seminar structure also explores advisory and commercial scenarios and draws on recent cases, policy developments, and international examples.

Through interactive case studies and attendee participation, the seminar highlights practical approaches to clearance, attribution, and governance; how to explain risk to non-technical clients; and factors to consider in relation to content created by, or with, AI assistance.
