DESCRIPTION: This presentation examines the evolving intersection of AI, copyright, and research data management (RDM) in the Canadian context. It explores how generative AI challenges traditional concepts of authorship, ownership, and fair dealing, drawing on emerging legal cases, government consultations, and international developments. The session highlights risks to creators from unlicensed data scraping and style mimicry, and reviews emerging technical and policy responses. Finally, the presentation positions RDM as a critical foundation for accountability, data provenance, metadata integrity, and trusted research practices in an AI‑driven information ecosystem.
