KIIT School of Law is pleased to share that Assistant Professor Sundar Athreya participated in a Round Table Conference on “Cultural Rights, Innovation, and Development in the AI Moment – Towards a Public Domain Framing.”
The conference was convened by IT for Change on the sidelines of the ongoing AI Impact Summit, with the support of the UNESCO Global CSOs and Academic Network on AI Ethics and Policy (IP and Culture Subgroup).
The round table brought together academics, policy experts, civil society representatives, and thought leaders to deliberate on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence, intellectual property regimes, cultural rights, innovation ecosystems, and equitable development. Discussions focused on developing a rights-based and public-interest-oriented framework for AI governance, particularly in the context of the Global South.
Assistant Professor Athreya’s participation reflects KIIT School of Law’s continued engagement with emerging global debates at the intersection of law, technology, ethics, and public policy. The institution remains committed to fostering meaningful academic contributions to contemporary challenges posed by rapid technological advancements.
