AI in Film & TV: A Legal Update
Part of the Essential Legal Framework
The seminar is aimed at film and TV producers, filmmakers and other audiovisual professionals who are already working with AI or considering integrating AI tools into their projects.
About the Seminar:
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the film and television industry – and with it, the legal landscape. As AI tools become increasingly integrated into audiovisual development, production and distribution, professionals need to understand the evolving rules governing their use.
This online seminar provides an up-to-date overview of the key legal and regulatory developments surrounding AI in the audiovisual sector. With a particular focus on copyright and intellectual property, data protection and the EU AI Act, the seminar examines what current and emerging legislation means for film and TV professionals in practice. A case study will provide insights into concrete legal challenges and approaches to compliance in AI-driven audiovisual workflows.
