CCC (Copyright Clearance Center), a global leader in copyright management and innovation, is set to host a pivotal discussion on responsible AI at the 2024 Frankfurt Book Fair. The panel, titled “Let Licensing Bloom: The Root of Responsible AI,” will take place on October 17 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm CET in Frankfurt Studio Hall 4.0, Room Europa.
The session will focus on the role of licensing in the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) that power generative AI systems, exploring both the opportunities and challenges involved. Panelists include prominent figures from the publishing industry: Arend Kuester (CSIRO Publishing), Josh Jarrett (Wiley), Lui Simpson (Association of American Publishers), and Sarah Tegen (American Chemical Society). CCC President and CEO, Tracey Armstrong, will moderate the discussion.
As part of its broader participation at the Frankfurt Book Fair, CCC's Managing Director of Business Development and Government Relations, Roy Kaufman, will moderate a panel on AI policy during the STM Conference on October 15. The session, “Relevant [AI] Policy Around the Globe,” will take place at 10:40 am CET at the Westin Grand Frankfurt.
