Description
Can new legislation around the globe assist to prevent the spread of information intended to deceive, or will traditional enforcement mechanisms hold sway in preventing dissemination of hate speech, fake news and propaganda, facilitation of counterfeit and stolen goods and objects of art, as well as infringement of Internet Protocol (IP) through the use of Artificial intelligence (AI).
This panel will look at the following issues:
- Does regulation combat misinformation, or encourage censorship;
- What mechanisms are in place to prevent altered or falsified satellite images;
- How can actors and artists prevent infringement of their images and IP rights through the use of AI?
- And what can be done to prevent the infringement of trademark rights or unfair competition through false association between brands and entities?
