Credits Information: 1.5 Transitional/Non-transitional CLE credits in Areas of Professional Practice The collision of copyright law, music, and generative AI has sparked significant controversy, including high-profile lawsuits and nearly 10,000 submissions to the Copyright Office.  This panel will explore the legal and policy challenges of applying copyright law to AI-generated music:  How does training an AI model on copyrighted music actually work?  What are the copyright implications of the training process?  What are the real-world impacts of music generating AI and how are the stakeholders – musicians, record labels, AI platforms, and others – addressing them?
