Whose Code Is It Anyway? (Panel discussion)

November 2, 2:15 PM–2:40 PM (PST) • Room 1

An AI writes fifty lines of code. Who owns them? What happens when a model reproduces licensed code without attribution? What does a CLA mean when a model wrote most of the patch? Lawyers and foundation representatives judge hypothetical contributions where licensing gets ugly, and hash out the ambiguities.

Do you have any feedback on the abstract? The session will run for 20-25 minutes with 5 additional minutes reserved for audience questions.
