We are please to invite you to the next ALAI Canada conference, organized in partnership with Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ).

ALAI-BAnQ afternoon conference

Copyright, Artificial Intelligence and memory institutions

Copyright is at the heart of the activities of memory institutions (libraries, archives, museums) particularly for the conservation, dissemination and enhancement of collections, culture and knowledge.  

To shed some light on the subjetcs, we are offering three practical lectures on copyright in the context of the activities of memory institutions, as well as a round table discussion on the prospects offered by artificial intelligence for them and the legitimate concerns it raises in terms of copyright.

This afternoon is not intended to be specialized programming for copyright lawyers as is usually the case with ALAI conferences, but wishes to address the themes for an audiance of non-spiecialized lawyers or non-legual professionals.
