Join panelists Dave Hansen, A nne Young, and Amy Whitaker as they examine the kinds of terms and conditions we're seeing in licensing agreements that address various issues concerning AI, whether from artists' and authors' perspective or from an institutional perspective. About our panelists:

Dave Hansen is the Executive Director of Authors Alliance, where he works to support authors on information law and policy issues, with a particular focus on how to help maximize the reach and impact of their work to benefit the public. Dave holds a JD and MSLS from UNC Chapel Hill and is a copyright attorney licensed to practice in North Carolina.

Anne Young is the editor of Rights and Reproductions: The Handbook for Cultural Institutions and Director of Legal Affairs and Intellectual Property at Newfields, where she provides guidance and interpretation on a variety of institutional standards, policies, and procedures, including intellectual property, contracting, cultural patrimony, repatriation, and overall risk mitigation. Anne earned a Master of Jurisprudence in 2018 focused on intellectual property, art, and museum law from Indiana University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

Amy Whitaker is a generalist economic modeler whose research proposes creative ways of approaching business structures within the arts and also using art as a process to approach systemic challenges like democracy and climate as the great collective art projects of our time. Her work on blockchain and AI centers the belief that all creative work has dignity in its smallness, the way that one vote still has dignity in a national election of millions. Amy holds an MBA from Yale University (in museum management and strategy), an MFA from University College London (in painting), and a BA from Williams College in studio art and political science. She completed a mid-career PhD nontraditionally in 2021, studying political economy with Will Davies at Goldsmiths, University of London .
