AGENDA

The modern media marketplace is complex and changing, with media companies and newsrooms navigating a broad range of legal, technological, and business challenges. Few issues are evolving more rapidly—or raising more difficult questions—than artificial intelligence (“AI”). From content creation and distribution to copyright, compliance, and newsroom operations, AI is transforming how media organizations operate and compete.

Featuring experts from across the regulatory and media landscape, this CLE will examine the current AI legal landscape media companies are operating in and include a practical discussion about the new AI frontier facing media companies and newsrooms.
