Can students claim AI-generated output as their own intellectual creation? Do students expose themselves to liability for copyright infringement when using GenAI output? This blog post takes a closer look at these questions by reflecting on the computational analysis of the AI policies, statements, etc. of all universities in the UK https://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2024/09/19/copyright-education-and-generative-ai-getting-with-the-programme/

The EU AI Act left out the most important area of law that we must harmonise if we want responsible AI to be a reality. I am delighted to share the open access article "Can there be responsible AI without AI liability? Incentivizing generative AI safety through ex-post tort liability under the EU AI liability directive" written with the fab Dr Leonardo Bezerra for the International Journal of Law and Information Technology (Oxford University Press). https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlit/eaae021

Can you help stop a potential digital Windrush scandal?

@Lazarou it does shock me tbh

Thank you to @CarolineLucas
for supporting an amendment to the Online Safety Bill that would seek to protect the end-to-end encrypted services. Many parents rely on these apps to safely and securely share family pictures. #onlinesafetybill

@bwaber thank you!

Next was an interesting talk by @guidonld on #IoT and the #law at #UNSW. The combined physical, digital, and cloud nature of IoT makes them particularly interesting to analyze from a legal perspective, and this talk goes on a tour of a variety of issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph5aaeVjJLM (4/11)

I had lots of waiting around with children today, which meant lots of time for talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/11)

@joris I was thinking the same!

I like boosting other posts, but I really miss not being able to give my (most often positive) perspective when doing it. And it seems such a solid option for distributed curation. I know this community is discussing whether to develop this option, with the initial assessment being that giving this functionality would be a cause of toxicity. I can see it creating issues too, but with some user controls for posters to not allow it, would love to enjoy the positive side of it again!

@gotofritz@fosstodon.org I mean it's just the codification of what the Court of Justice already held... but yes we can expect a plethora of conservative reactions, alas

If approved, the new EU regulation on parenthood in cross-border contexts would be an important step ahead for LGBTQ families as it would provide that parenthood established in a Member State would be automatically ecognised in all the Member States #lgbtq https://t.co/qNgS2Fic7c

@Kate i wish I could speak longer too (common desire among academics? ;)) I don't have any magic formula, there are some modules about data activism, data literacies etc. Probably a Master's in Critical Digital Studies and a number of open and accessible resources designed with students would be something to consider... but we're all overburdened with so much useless work aren't we

@Kate aww I'm so happy you liked it! ✊️✊️✊️🤖
