Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property: AI is Gaining Ground, But the Fight Isn’t Over Yet!

This week I’ve dipped my toes into the fascinating, and quite dramatic, world of intellectual property (IP) law as it faces off against artificial intelligence (AI).

On a personal note, as someone who enjoys creating music (though admittedly my kids do it better!), I’m genuinely concerned about protecting creative work, especially as AI-generated content becomes astonishingly good and fast.
