When AI generates evidence, influences corporate decisions, or draws on copyrighted works, who is responsible—and how should the law respond?
These questions brought together researchers from Georgia, Germany, and Italy at our international research seminar on AI and data law. Six groups explored copyright and AI training; liability for AI-generated output; AI regulation and public law; AI in legal and corporate decision-making; access to data under the EU Data Act; and the boundaries of human creativity in AI-generated works.The program brought together issues that are too often discussed in isolation. How effective are reservations of rights against AI training? How should courts evaluate AI-generated evidence? What does the business judgment rule mean for directors who rely on AI? And how can class-action lawsuits address harm caused by AI systems? The seminar provided an opportunity to examine these questions across jurisdictions, challenge assumptions, and advance the participants’ research through discussion. Thank you to everyone who contributed their work, and to RA Prof. Dr. Sergi Jorbenadze (TSU Tbilisi) as well as Nora-Marie Fuchs at the University of Münster’s Institute for Information, Telecommunications, and Media Law (ITM) for coordinating the program.
