Associate Dean Daryl Lim to participate in Seoul AI Policy Conference 2025 panel on copyright in AI contexts

CARLISLE, Pa.— Associate Dean for Research and Strategic Partnerships Daryl Lim will speak at the upcoming 2025 Seoul AI Policy Conference (SAIPCON). His session, titled “Striking the Right Balance: Copyright Across Diverse AI Contexts,” will explore the complex intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and copyright law in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.

In his session, Lim will address how generative AI and other emerging technologies challenge traditional copyright frameworks, particularly in contexts such as AI-driven creativity, data usage, and content generation. His insights will draw from his ongoing scholarship and teaching, which focus on the regulation of AI in the field of intellectual property. Other distinguished participants in the conference include Janet Napolitano, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security (UC Berkeley); Christopher Yoo and Joseph Harrington (University of Pennsylvania); Nicholson Price (University of Michigan); Sangok Seok (Naver Labs); and Jaeho Moon (director general, Korea Fair Trade Commission).

SAIPCON brings together experts from across the globe to discuss AI governance, legal regulation, and social cohesion in the AI era. This year’s conference will feature keynote addresses from global leaders in AI policy and feature in-depth discussions on topics like labor, international cooperation, and the ethical challenges of AI.
