The challenges of securing permissions—why tracking down rights holders can be a lengthy (and expensive) process.
-
AI’s impact on creativity and copyright—can AI-generated content be copyrighted? How does fair use apply?
-
Ethical considerations—should authors disclose AI-assisted or AI-generated content? What are the risks of unintentional infringement?
-
The future of AI and publishing—how platforms like Amazon are handling AI content, and why transparency matters.
Dan also shares insights from the U.S. Copyright Office’s latest rulings, ongoing lawsuits against AI platforms, and practical advice for authors navigating this evolving landscape.
