Columbia India Hour: Who Owns Innovation?

Sept. 09. 8:30 AM ET | Online

As AI reshapes how we create, innovate, and share ideas, it is also challenging long-standing assumptions about intellectual property, ownership, and creative rights. From copyright and trademarks to questions of authorship, attribution, and the use of creative and proprietary content, the rules governing innovation are rapidly evolving.

Join us for a timely conversation exploring the intersection of AI and intellectual property, bringing together perspectives from India and the United States. The discussion will examine recent legal developments—including the landmark Delhi High Court judgment on AI and copyright—and consider what these developments mean for businesses, creators, technology companies, entrepreneurs, and policymakers navigating an increasingly AI-driven world.

Whether you work in law, technology, business, media, entertainment, research, or the creative industries, this conversation offers an opportunity to explore how intellectual property frameworks may shape the future of innovation, creativity, and AI.

Speakers: 
  • Shyamkrishna Balganesh, Sol Goldman Professor of Law, Columbia Law School
  • Bahram N. Vakil, Founder & Senior Partner, AZB & Partners
