Targets: The present proposal seeks to address potential regulatory issues that may act as an enabler or as an obstacle for technological development and innovation, especially considering the role of the data industry on scientific research and on high-value sectors such as those dealing with AI and data science.
Description:
This workshop aims to discuss the role of intellectual property regulations on data-intensive research and innovation. It will contrast the existing property lawson databases and intellectual works with the ever-growing importance of text and data mining techniques in science and in the development of emerging technologies. The main goal is to observe the effects of IP rights on data access and circulation and what policy approaches can be taken to adjust the current system to better promote the development of such technologies while preserving the rights of scientists, artists and data producers.
Release a report of the discussion on official publications and websites belonging to involved organizations, such as InternetLab and the Brazilian Copyright Institute, as well as promote follow-up online events to further explore points addressed in the session.
Develop an infographic in Portuguese, Spanish and English from the systematization of the discussions around the concept of TMD, countries that have approved limitation to AD for TMD and the controversies about the subject. Such illustrative material would serve as a basis for broadening the knowledge of the debate around the theme, with easy access and for non-specialized audiences.
Hybrid Format: At the end of the initial exchange between speakers, different moments of session will be reserved for questions and comments: one for on-site attendees and another for online participants. The topics will then be brought to the speakers for open discussion.
Additionally, the session shall be broadcast via YouTube, to the extent deemed possible, on the official channels of the organizations involved (e.g. Brazilian Copyright Institute, InternetLab) where viewers can follow the discussion and contribute to the debate. The main topics of the meeting shall also be circulated through social media, where questions will be collected from the public and brought to speakers and participants.
