Legal matters pertaining to the Freelance Act, labor laws, and “working”
Lecturer：Masayuki Kobayakawa
The so-called Freelance Act has recently been enacted and will soon come into effect.
This lecture will explain in simple terms how this will protect freelancers, how it will relate to labor laws, and the differences between freelancers and regular workers.

Appropriate ways to interact with/use AI
Lecturer：Takashi Nakazaki
The advent of generative AI has brought into focus the relationship between AI and copyright. This lecture will look at the following frequently arising issues, starting from the basics:
(1) when AI is made to learn copyrighted material, (2) when AI-generated material resembles copyrighted material, and (3) the possibilities for protection of AI-generated material.
