Creative Commons, Pillsbury and EFF-Austin are delighted to present a fascinating exploration of who gets to share and benefit in the age of AI; how governance choices, incentives and norms are shaping the future of the open web; and how artists, writers and communities are shaping models that keep culture, creativity and human voices central as AI-driven markets evolve.

In addition to Pillsbury’s Kayvan Ghaffari, confirmed panelists include Anna Tumadóttir (CEO, Creative Commons), Lawrence Lessig (Harvard Law and CC Founder), Lane Becker (Wikimedia Enterprise), and special guests.

Panel #1:
Who Gets to Share in the Age of AI? Governing Creativity in a Connected World

This panel examines the challenges around AI data practices and the task of sustaining decades of openly accessible knowledge as sharing norms evolve. What new incentives and governance models could protect creators while supporting a healthier, more equitable commons in an AI-driven world?

Panel #2:
Beyond Bots: Keeping the Internet Human in an AI World

This panel moves past hype to explore what it truly means to keep the internet human in the age of AI. The panel will explore how artists, writers and communities respond to AI, from resistance to playful co-creation, and what those choices reveal about authorship, originality and human voice. Ultimately, we’ll ask how human values, lived experience and cultural nuance can be preserved as machines shape more of what we see and read.

Networking reception to follow panel discussions. Food and drinks will be provided.
