AI Governance and Copyrights: Where Are We? Where Is It Going?

November 13, 2025

The issue of copyrights is both critical and fast evolving. Where are we and where is it all going?

Because of the issue we’re bringing two of the country’s leading legal practitioners in this area to check in. Avi Gesser is a partner at Debevoise and Plimpton in New York City, where he leads the data strategy and security group. Avi has decades of experience representing both large entertainment and technology firms and is a thought leader and commentator on AI governance as a whole. He will be joined by his colleague Megan Bannigan, also a partner at Debevoise and Plimpton, who is a leading litigator in the areas of trademark and copyright, and has been representing large firms on both sides of the AI copyrights issue for years. Do not miss this espresso shot of knowledge and opinion on one of the most pressing issues of our time!
