AI Coding Tools, Copyright Law, and OSS License Compliance, Featuring Heather Meeker

There's been a dramatic increase in the number of engineering teams that use AI coding assistants. Studies indicate that upwards of 80 percent of developers have used these tools, in pursuit of a variety of desired benefits (including improved code quality and development velocity).

However, the way AI coding assistants are trained — often at least in part on existing open source libraries (which are governed by open source licenses) — has raised concerns about whether the output of these AI models may violate copyright law and/or licensing terms.

To help your organization better understand and mitigate these potential risks, we'd invite you to join IP attorney Heather Meeker — one of the world's leading software licensing experts — in our webinar "AI Coding Tools, Copyright Law, and OSS License Compliance."

Heather will discuss:

• How AI coding tools are trained
• Guardrails in popular tools
• The evolution of AI coding tools over the past 12-24 months, and the resulting implications for legal and compliance teams
• Relevant court cases
• How to extend existing OSS license compliance workflows to cover AI-generated code
• The role of snippet scanning tools as part of a comprehensive risk management approach
