Future Film: Q&A with Tommy Petrov, CEO of CopySight AI
This Tuesday, Future Film hosts a live Q&A with Tommy Petrov, co-founder and CEO of CopySight AI.
CopySight helps creators avoid legal trouble and document what makes their AI-generated work uniquely theirs, so they can use it professionally with confidence.
Before co-founding CopySight, Tommy was a creative director at Snap and Meta. He now works directly with creative, brand, and legal teams navigating how this work can be used commercially.
Tommy will help us understand what CopySight is finding in real projects, which risks creators are most likely to miss, and what those findings mean when the work reaches clients, brands, and studios.
We’ll also get into the larger questions around copyright, ownership, and commercial use: what can actually be protected in work made with AI, how much human creative contribution matters, what creators should document, which lawsuits could change the landscape, and where technology can help versus when you need an attorney.
AI copyright is changing quickly, and even people following it closely may be relying on answers that are incomplete or already out of date. This is a chance to ask someone working on these issues every day what is known, what is commonly misunderstood, and what is still changing.
For editors and filmmakers, the craft and creative judgment you already bring are often central to what makes the work yours.
Bring what you think you know, and bring your questions. See you Tuesday night.
