On Wednesday, 5 April 2023, the first meeting of the Council of the Slovenian Open Science Community took place.
The creation of the Slovenian Open Science Community is not a new joint organisation or consortium of institutions or any other form of formal association, but a voluntary platform for collaboration, coordination and the creation of a critical mass for the unification of infrastructure, services, education and skills, with the aim of achieving sustainability and strengthening collaboration.
The Intellectual Property Institute and the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute are members of the Community, and Dr Maja Bogataj Jančič attended the meeting in this capacity. She presented the European Research Area Action 2 group (to which she was appointed on 26.1.2023 by the Ministry of Higer education, Science and Innovation): A research-appropriate EU legislative and regulatory framework on copyright and data. It is worth noting that the work of the Knowledge Rights 21 network, which brings together individual national coordinators for access to research data at the international level, is particularly relevant to the activities of the Slovenian Open Science Community as well.
“Can copyright bring artificial intelligence to its knees? Which other circumstances may cause that the “making” of generative AI can dramatically change in the (near) future. This short paper presents potential challenges that copyright poses to the training of the machines on large amount of data. Different jurisdictions address these issues differently. In the USA the legality of these activities is tested in several court cases. Do gentlemen’s agreements and pragmatic symbiosis known from the “search engines business model” provide sufficient basis and/or incentive for the business model of “making” generative AI business model as well?
On Friday, September 27, 2024, the last day of the international conference “Converging Realms: Law, Technology, and Society in the Age of Ethical and Multi-Agent AI” took place. Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič took part in the 4th panel entitled Artificial Intelligence+Research.
Today, September 26, 2024, a specialist training for persons who will perform the role of data stewards or related profiles of data experts was organized by the Central Technical Library (CTK) at the University of Ljubljana as part of the SPOZNAJ project, at which Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič also lectured on the subject of open science and copyright.
At the end of this week, between September 26 and September 27, 2024, Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič will attend the international conference “Converging Realms: Law, Technology, and Society in the Age of Ethical and Multi-Agent AI”.
