Generative artificial intelligence continues to break both legal and technical ground as the complexity of this technology grows and users increasingly rely on it to write software and generate new characters, stories, and ideas. Whether and how developers utilize Generative AI may depend on their understanding of the potential legal risks arising from such use and the impact it could have on their ownership of the end product or exposure to litigation. This session will discuss the legal issues raised by Generative AI and practical steps that developers can implement immediately, including:

1. Building your own Generative AI or licensing an existing model
2. Assessing inputs and outputs
3. Copyright infringement, breach of contract, and other legal risks
4. Best practices: managing risks while promoting innovation
