This FREE "A.I. for Artists" workshop and lecture will discuss how artists can effectively navigate a world where people can generate images nearly instantly with a prompt using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) as an artist aiming to protect their intellectual property and enhance their business. Both the legal implications and the potential costs and benefits of using A.I. will be examined. Topics will range from how the use of A.I. in the drafting/brainstorming phase of a project could impact the ability to copyright the final work, and how A.I. can be leveraged to aid in reducing the cost in both money and time for tedious clerical work that is inherent in running an art business.

Conner Mulvaney is an Oklahoma attorney who, by day, works on contract law for the State of Oklahoma and, by night, paints in acrylic on canvas. He graduated from OCU School of Law and passed the Oklahoma Bar exam in 2023. He has a passion for service. His main goal in his legal career is to use his knowledge and skills as an attorney to help others create. Conner understands that dealing with complicated contractual matters can distract from the joy of making art, so he seeks to empower artists by providing guidance and assistance with intellectual property and contracts.
