12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis session provides an update on the leading copyright cases, and the implications of these cases across the AI ecosystem, from AI developers to AI end users. It will also explore the legal implications of downstream use of generative AI outputs, including the potential liabilities, intellectual property protections, and transparency requirements. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for advising clients on ownership, liability, and compliance in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.
Theresa M. Weisenberger 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm ESTThis session equips attorneys to guide clients through the full AI lifecycle, from the decision to procure through deployment and monitoring. Attendees will learn how to triage AI use cases, translate that risk classification into binding contract terms, and stand up governance structures that establish boundaries and oversight. The session closes with a survey of the regulatory and enforcement landscape, including state statutes, so attorneys can align contract and governance work with evolving statutory duties of care.

prosecution and litigation, and 10 years of machine learning experience, she advises content providers, technology developers, and end users on the IP and regulatory issues that arise in developing, deploying, and using generative AI. Her practice spans IP and AI audits and policies, infringement risk analysis, OSS compliance, and the negotiation of development deals, technology acquisitions, data licensing agreements, and SaaS and XaaS contracts, with a focus on how licensing third-party technology affects clients’ own rights and obligations. Recognized by IAM Patent 1000, The Legal 500, and The Best Lawyers in America® for IP litigation, prosecution, and transactions, she served as Secretary and Vice President of Governance of the Copyright Society and speaks regularly on copyright law and emerging technology.
