About the Event

​Copyforward is an invitation-only symposium bringing together legal experts, artists, filmmakers, scholars, and guild representatives to examine the implications of artificial intelligence in film and creative media. The conversation centers on questions of AI, intellectual property, and copyright as they affect artists, filmmakers, and the broader creative industries. The symposium builds on Mozilla Foundation's Hollywood's 8 Rules for AI, a blueprint developed with 91 creatives for redesigning AI deployment around creative leadership. ​Attendees are also invited to join Day 2 of Flux Festival, a curated program of talks, screenings, sensory exhibits, workshops, and performances showcasing bold innovations in moving image and sound on Saturday, April 25.
