We are now finding ourselves in August, named in the Romanian calendar, gustar<\/em> from the verb a gusta <\/em>meaning to taste, as many of the fruits of Summer are now ripe to harvest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, we\u2019re diving headfirst into the fascinating and sometimes chaotic world of artificial intelligence. This time, we\u2019re exploring how AI bots are swarming libraries and cultural heritage sites, and slowing down the sites. We also take a closer look at how students in higher education are responding to AI tools in their learning environments\u2014spoiler: it\u2019s not all smooth sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s Spotify, stirring up debate by releasing AI-generated music featuring the voices of deceased artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we\u2019re not stopping there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also zooming out to look at nature and sustainability, with a copyright lens\u2014because let\u2019s face it, that\u2019s our bread and butter. From the surprising intersection of hair care and intellectual property, to the legal showdown between Lululemon and Costco over alleged copycat products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to that the creative upcycling of fashion brands and a dash of Trump-related copyright drama, and you\u2019ve got a blog post that\u2019s anything but boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The copyright world is anything but boring at the moment. With so much happening in and around it, it is difficult to keep on top of all the changes and issues coming to the fore. AI is still pretty much the one causing a lot of issues, and keeping on top with all the changes is a must. I am sure for next month we will have some more goodies for you in the world of copyright and beyond. Until then, enjoy the last of the Summer days! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
