This is first part of a multi-issue series of Copyright and AI. It begins with transcripts from the Copyright + Technology conference, held on September 30, 2024 by the Copyright Society. We are pleased to have Bill Rosenblatt as our guest co-editor. With AI being the topic, no one can stop discussion, we aredevoting this issue to questions related to AI, both in conversations with industry leaders as well as academic articles. Part I concentrates on the 2024 Copyright + Technology Conference, with Tom Rubin giving the Keynote Address. Part II is the published version of the 2023 Meyer Lecture by Justin Hughes. Part III then turns to scholarly articles related to Artificial Intelligence. We end with Part IV with a quick outward look of administrative and legislative developments in different parts of the world.
