About this talk

This talk addresses the legal risks associated with using AI-generated code, particularly from tools like GitHub Copilot. Speakers Dr. Andreas Kotulla and Chan-jo Jun explain that incorporating such code can lead to conditional intent to infringe copyright law, which exposes developers and companies to potential legal actions and liabilities. The session highlights recent developments in copyright cases, discusses the frequency of plagiarism, and emphasizes the importance of implementing both technical and legal measures to mitigate these risks. Attendees will gain insights into protecting themselves from the legal ramifications of AI code usage and learn strategies to avoid becoming vulnerable to claims.
