In a world increasingly shaped by AI-driven innovation, how do authors navigate the complexities of copyright law? This presentation explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property, addressing pressing questions about authorship, ownership, and accountability.

CWC Marin President Jean Gordon Kocienda will start with a basic “AI for Dummies”-style demo of tools such as Chat GPT and Canva, generating a short story, a query letter, artwork, and a bio in a matter of minutes.

Next, Dan will examine the ethical issues and legal challenges AI brings to writers and artists. Plenty of time will be left for Q&A as we discuss strategies you can put to work in this rapidly evolving landscape.
