CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse(a)michigan.gov This fall semester, OCEAN<https://www.oceancopyright.org/> and Authors Alliance<https://www.authorsalliance.org/> are co-hosting a full Discussion Series on AI and its implications for professionals working in libraries, archives and museums and for authors, artists, scholars, researchers who work with them . AI has quickly become the "next frontier" in technology, yielding incredible new research insights and enabling new forms of creativity, with hundreds of millions of daily users. AI has also raised important questions about access to and use of copyrighted content, liability for AI generated outputs, and ownership and authenticity. This series will examine key questions such as, * Does AI reproduce and distribute content? How does AI work? * What are the implications for libraries, archives and museums if they post materials online or attempt to assess the copyright status of works generated in part or completely by AI? * What are the key issues impacting copyright ownership and copyright status? * Does AI pose risks when sharing copyright protected content or in exhibitions on site or online? * Can and should professionals in libraries, archives and museums provide AI research support? * How does AI impact scholarly communications? Session 1: AI Copyright 101 12pm-1pm ET, October 24, 2025 We’re kicking off our fall programming with an introduction to the latest AI legal issues that impact authors, libraries, archives, and museums. This conversation is especially important as the law in this area rapidly evolves, with new legislative and regulatory approaches emerging that could significantly reshape how your organization navigates AI. The session will focus on three of the most important copyright issues raised by AI: 1) the legality of accessing and using copyrighted materials as training data, 2) what liability exists for potentially infringing outputs (and who is responsible), and 3) what level of copyright protection is afforded to AI outputs? Learn more and register by clicking here<https://www.oceancopyright.org/event-details/ai-copyright-101-1>. Session 2: Research, AI and Rights 12pm-1pm ET, November 7, 2025 Join us for a discussion of the impacts of the ever-changing AI legal landscape on the work of researchers and the institutions that support them. Our presenters will walk us through how the latest litigation affects research activities, such as text data mining, how researchers can utilize fair use to address these issues, and other considerations, such as research integrity and liability, and privacy considerations. Learn more and register by clicking here<https://www.oceancopyright.org/event-details/research-ai-and-rights>. Session 3: Creating with AI: Copyright Issues Related to Authorship, Authenticity, and Preservation for AI-assisted Works 12pm-1pm ET, November 21, 2025 This session will explore copyrightability and authorship of AI-assisted creative works that are increasingly used in writing as well as film, video, images and other formats. We'll examine: * what AI terms of service agreements say about ownership and liability of AI outputs, * how publishing contracts, institutional policies, and professional ethics address, or fail to address, AI use. * the challenges of identifying AI-generated content, particularly in publications, donor materials, and acquisitions, and why it matters for authenticity, provenance, and preservation. Participants will leave with practical considerations for the legal and ethical risks of AI, and the implications for authorship, ownership, and maintaining the integrity of collections. Learn more and register by clicking here<https://www.oceancopyright.org/event-details/creating-with-ai-copyright-iss…>. Session 4: AI Litigation Update 12pm-1pm ET, December 5, 2025 Our twice yearly litigation update is back! In keeping with the AI focus of our fall programming, we’ll be exploring the latest and most impactful AI litigation that affects authors, libraries, archives, and museums. Learn more and register by clicking here<https://www.oceancopyright.org/event-details/ai-litigation-update>. Session 5: Providing AI Guidance, Education and Information to Your Organization 12pm-1pm ET, December 12, 2025 The final session of the series ties together everything that we’ve discussed so far and offers practical guidance on how to communicate the key concepts and best practices, and how they might apply to your particular type of organization, to your colleagues and patrons.
