Seminars

Join Husch Blackwell for an insightful seminar exploring the latest legal developments at the intersection of AI and intellectual property. Our attorneys will provide practical guidance on emerging issues, including ownership rights when employees develop AI tools, the use of AI in product development, rights to AI-generated outputs, ownership of data and inputs used to train AI systems, licensing considerations, patent strategies, privacy concerns, and evolving regulatory developments.

Following the legal update, hear directly from a panel of business leaders and AI practitioners who are actively developing, implementing, and managing AI technologies within their organizations. Panelists will share real-world experiences, practical challenges, and lessons learned as they navigate innovation while managing legal and business risk.

After the program, enjoy food and beverages overlooking The Plaza while connecting with industry peers and Husch Blackwell attorneys—and experiencing a one-of-a-kind interactive AI photo activation.
