    A recent surge of lawsuits raises the question of whether the training of AI models infringes copyright in the United States, and, increasingly, in other jurisdictions around the world. Curiously, though, one important aspect of copyright remains in the background: the moral rights of authors and artists. Why have moral rights not yet been invoked? Is there a possibility that AI technology infringes moral rights? If so, how should these claims be presented, and what relief might plaintiffs expect? This presentation will explore these issues in the context of a new book: The Moral Rights of Authors and Artists: From the Birth of Copyright to the Age of Artificial Intelligence, published by Oxford University Press.

    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
