The AI and IP Law: Copyright, Ownership, and Licensing online certificate course equips both legal and non-legal professionals to confidently advise their organisation on ever-changing AI-related copyright questions. In this cohort-based, three-week course, participants examine how AI challenges core copyright principles of authorship, ownership, and liability.

Delivered by the top-ranked LSE Law School and designed by faculty at the forefront of their fields, the course is grounded in active litigation, including Getty Images v Stability AI, GEMA v OpenAI, and Bartz v Anthropic. You’ll learn to establish what copyright protects, resolve who owns an AI-generated output and who is liable for it, and split an infringement claim into the arguments it actually contains – the training data, the model, the output. Upon completion, you will be able to use legal reasoning to assess copyright risk across the UK, EU, US, and Japan, and you will receive an LSE certificate and digital badge that recognise your ability to advise with confidence on AI copyright, ownership, and licensing.
