Come and watch teams from DKU, NYU, XJTLU, and UNNC present their oral arguments on a rapidly advancing and uncertain question: 

Is it permissible to use copyrighted materials to train generative AI models? And can you hold AI companies liable if their products generate outputs that infringe on the copyright of another company’s intellectual property?

No matter if you want to spend all day with us, or come for just one trial, you are invited! DKU Pre-Law has designed an extremely interesting and relevant case concerning AI and copyright, modeled after current lawsuits between international players (scan the QR code to see for yourself) and with no clear answer on the horizon, this is your chance and engage in the intellectual pursuit of finding novel solutions to emerging problems. 

Whether you are into policy, computer science, data science, law, philosophy, debate, or machine learning: there is a place for you at this event, and we hope to see you there!

Background & Purpose:

The Sino-International Collegiate Moot Court League is a student-led initiative that builds on the successful launch of the First Sino-International Collegiate Moot Court at Duke Kunshan University in Spring 2024. This effort, spearheaded by the DKU Pre-Law Society in collaboration with Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), aims to foster intellectual exchange and cross-campus collaboration among Sino-international universities in China.

The purpose of the League is to:

1. Provide a platform for students to engage with international law, analyzing and debating cases rooted in global governance, trade policy, environmental law, and human rights.
2. Develop critical skills such as public speaking, legal argumentation, and policy analysis, which are essential for careers in law, public policy, and international relations.
3. Promote meaningful collaboration between Sino-international universities, creating opportunities for students to connect across campuses and expand their global perspectives.

The League aligns closely with DKU’s mission of fostering global academic collaboration and providing students with opportunities to engage in real-world issues.
