Copyright law has often failed to protect the copyrightable works of people of color. This panel will focus on the intersection of race and copyright law and current concerns within copyright law, such as name/likeness protections and Generative AI’s use of copyrighted works without recognition, and the impact the musical industry may feel through Generative AI.

Angela Riley, UCLA Law
Andrea Wallace, University of Exeter Law School
Moderator:
Mehtab Khan, Cleveland State College of Law
Join us for Race, Rights, and Innovation: Cultivating Equity in the Digital World, a thought-provoking event exploring the intersection of race, technology, and legal frameworks. We'll delve into the historical treatment of minority creators in copyright law, unpack the racial disparities in patent law and innovation, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for diversity in content moderation on social media platforms. Through engaging panel discussions and insightful conversations, we'll address pressing issues such as name/likeness protections, Generative AI's impact on copyrighted works, the need for greater diversity in patent law, and the racial implications of content moderation algorithms. Together, we'll explore how these issues shape our digital landscape and what steps we can take to foster greater equity and inclusion.
