Who Owns You? — The clauses, loopholes, and liabilities no one is explaining.
Most contracts weren't written for AI. Yours probably wasn't either.
This session is for anyone involved in creative deals — whether you're the talent yourself, your manager, agent, attorney, or working on the business side. If you're responsible for protecting creative work (or your own work) in a world where likeness, voice, and data can be copied instantly, this is for you.
We're going to walk through the specific places where contracts are creating problems — so you can spot the issues in your own agreements.
This isn't a theoretical panel. It's a practical breakdown of what's already happening in contracts today.
We'll cover:
How likeness rights get quietly bundled into broader agreements
Where contracts create hidden risks (and missed opportunities)
The specific clauses and language you need to watch for right now
Expect real scenarios, live participation, and takeaways you can use immediately.
