Copyright and Online Learning at a Time of Uncertainty (Episode 64)
Channel: ALT
Date: 2023-10-09

Alex Fenlon, Head of Copyright & Licensing University of Birmingham joins ALT CoOL SIG (https://www.alt.ac.uk/groups/special-interest-groups/copyright-and-online-learning-sig) co-chairs Chris Morrison and Jane Secker to for a second session (see here for the first) to discuss copyright and artificial intelligence in higher education and research.

 

In recent months Alex has been supporting his institution in its consideration of emerging AI technologies.  The sector’s focus seems very much to be on the impact upon teaching and assessment, with guidance on how to use these tools.  There seems to be little discussion about the should nor the copyright and privacy concerns.  In these webinars Alex talks refers to a blog post (https://uobpgrdevelopment.wordpress.com/2023/06/26/ai-what-are-the-risks/) he recently wrote for postgraduate researchers beginning to surface some of the challenges around the use of these tools.
