Constitution Day: AI, Copyright, and the First Amendment: What Does "Originality" Mean?

About This Event

Join Dr. JJ Sylvia for a discussion COMM 4230 Communication Law and Ethics. All events are free and open to the Fitchburg State community.

Who should own a piece of writing, art, or music when a machine helped make it? Students in Dr. JJ Sylvia’s COMM 4230 Communication Law and Ethics will lead a public discussion on how AI-generated content is testing long-standing ideas about copyright, originality, and free expression under the First Amendment. Bring your questions, bring your opinions, and help us think through one of the most contested issues in media ethics today.

This event is presented by the university's General Education Program with funding from the Office of Student Engagement.
