Copyright and AI is a three-part podcast series
from Fasken's Perspectives podcast, exploring how
Canadian law is grappling with the rise of generative artificial
intelligence.
Jay Kerr-Wilson, who leads Fasken's
copyright practice, and McGill University student Amy Qi dive into
complex questions around authorship, ownership, consent, and the
legal lifespan of AI systems. Listen to this exclusive series as
they unpack the legal and philosophical challenges shaping the
future of copyright in Canada—and what it means for
innovators, rights holders, and AI developers alike.
If an AI creates something, who owns it? Can an AI system be
considered an author under Canadian law? In this final episode in
the series, Kerr-Wilson and Qi unpack the legal complexities of
authorship and ownership in Canada, and what it means for AI users,
businesses, developers, and rights holders.
