Panel 1 – Training Your Data on Rightsholder Material: the AI Act’s transparency requirements

Moderated by Luca Bertuzzi, Senior Correspondent at MLex

As AI models increasingly rely on vast datasets, Article 50 of the EU AI Act raises key transparency questions:

  • How will companies prove compliance when using copyrighted material for AI training?
  • What can — and should — rightsholders do to protect their work?
  • How can both sides navigate unintended data scraping and model exposure?

Join industry and legal experts as they unpack these complex issues and debate where the balance between innovation and protection should lie.

Panelists: 

  • Burak Özgen, Deputy General Manager, European Grouping of Societies of Authors and Composers (GESAC)
  • Julien Chasserieau, AI Director at Digital Europe
  • Stefano Gentile, Legal and Policy Officer, Unit I.2 'Copyright’ - DC CNECT, European Commission

Panel 2: When AI Innovates, Who Owns the Patent?

Moderated by Inbar Preiss, Senior Correspondent at MLex

From drug discovery to advanced materials, AI is reshaping innovation itself. But when an algorithm drives the breakthrough, who holds the patent — and who profits?
This session explores the shifting boundaries of ownership, regulation, and ethics in AI-generated inventions, examining what today’s laws mean for tomorrow’s technology.

Panelists: 

  • Angel Aledo, EPO’s Chief Operating Officer & Chief Technology Officer
  • Nicola Halloran, Managing Director and Digital Lead, Teneo
  • Daniel Friedlaender, SVP, CCIA Europe
