In the debate about the future of intellectual property in an AI world, there exists an opportunity to build new legal and technical infrastructure that preserves the ethos of the open source and builds an expanding, open Commons for AI. This can create new markets and conversations around the rights of human creators while accelerating (rather than stymying) innovation.
In this talk, Peter and his company cofounder Chandler Vaughn will explore the various dimensions of the global legal/tech conflict, and propose a new route forward.
