The Digital Tech Cluster is delivering a business support programme to help leaders of digital tech companies grow and succeed. As part of this, we are hosting a free online event created specifically for digital tech founders and leaders.
Join us for this free, online workshop that will discuss the interaction between AI and intellectual property.
The workshop will explore questions such as: -
- How are AI tools trained and how does this affect how you use them?
- How to know if the data was open sourced or copyrighted?
- How might the standard terms and conditions of those tools impact on their use?
- AI tools can use your input as part of its training, how do you know when your data is retained and what risks does that pose (especially around confidentiality and novelty)?
- The early bird catches the worm but now the second bird can use AI to catch up with your innovation quickly, how can you protect yourself from a legal and business perspective?
- If using AI to assist in new product development or marketing, who owns the IP in the content generated?
- Automated marketing content can enable you to test your products in new markets quickly and cheaply but what are the IP pitfalls to look out for?
- Which sectors are particularly averse to AI generated content, whether it is within the product or as part of marketing or sales? (I’m guessing highly regulated markets like health and defence).
James Bedford, STFCs Digital Tech Cluster Manager, will be joined by IP experts Graeme Murray and Caitlin Morris from Marks and Clerk who will share their expertise and insights.
The Digital Tech Cluster
Launched by the Science and Technology Facilities Council in Daresbury on November 2021, the Digital Tech Cluster supports innovative, fast-growing tech startups and scaleups through a targeted business support programme and a peer network. The Business Support Programme delivers around 15 workshops a year, supporting 273 leaders of digital tech businesses in 2024. The Peer Network is an exclusive community of tech leaders that benefit from more bespoke support in the form of facilitated CEO, CTO and Female Tech Leaders meetups, pitch practice sessions, mentoring and 1-1 support. 89 tech leaders have joined so far with the ambition to grow the network further in 2025.
Please sign up for tickets and make a note in your calendar. An invitation with joining instructions will be sent before the event.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
