THEME

“Licensing 3.0 for an Artificially Intelligent Universe”

The conference will explore themes focussed on how the universe is rapidly evolving. Generative Artificial Intelligence and other disruptive technologies are transforming the way we interact with the world around us. From manufacturing to healthcare, high-tech, transportation, aerospace, defence, environment and agriculture, all industries are at the cusp of an impending metamorphosis. Traditional linear business models are no longer sustainable. The age-old precedents and jurisprudence are getting tossed over by self-generating technologies that hugely surpass specific average human intellectual capabilities. As we increasingly rely, delegate, and depend on these artificially intelligent systems, we must not lose track of potential legal risks, operational challenges and other ethical concerns.

This conference will focus on the immense potential of technology. From democratising healthcare, industrial efficiencies and education accessibility, technology paves the way for newer opportunities and market creation. Its multidimensional benefits to industry, society, and the environment cannot be overlooked. Technology’s critical role in nation-building must be observed closely against the backdrop of ethics, morality, responsibility and liabilities. Are we ready for an Artificially Intelligent Universe, The Universe 3.0.? A world where machines communicate more than humans, where data outlives people, computing is quicker than a heartbeat, and reality is more virtual than real!

Are the current legal systems equipped to govern, manage and administer justice in this artificially intelligent Universe? Can GenAI take over our world? Is it time to regulate? Will traditional business models topple? In a connected intelligent world, what role will intellectual property play? Will territorial boundaries contain the risks and challenges of the Universe 2.0?

Traditionally, the legal frameworks and intellectual property rights have always been territorial in nature. While licensing models are largely two-dimensional, our world is becoming multi-dimensional. This has a direct impact on existing IP models and Licensing practices. LES APAC Conference 2024 conference will have series of deliberations targeted towards Licensing and IP in a connected-Artificially Intelligent world. It will revisit the Business of IP. We intend to unlearn the settled practices to deliberate and learn licensing practices and intellectual property rights for Universe 3.0, a Generative Artificially Intelligent world.

We call upon all of you to Log in to the Future and be a part of the deliberations for Universe 3.0 at LES APAC Conference 2024.
