AI, IP, and enforcement – Fair use, DMCA shifts, and what comes next

AI and intellectual property are evolving fast – and creating real uncertainty for companies building with or around AI. 

This episode of The Data Chronicles breaks down the key IP claims emerging today, from copyright and DMCA theories to right of publicity, trademark, and output based risks. 

We look at how early court decisions are treating AI training and outputs, why plaintiffs are pivoting toward DMCA and misattribution claims, and where regulators like the FTC may (and may not) step in. 

We close with a practical checklist for organizations using or developing AI, as the landscape continues to shift.
