GenAI & Intellectual Property for Producers and Creators

As part of the ONX.Showcase.Athens.2026, Onassis ONX presents an open day of talks, discussions, and a workshop for producers, creators, and professionals working across the audiovisual and creative industries, dedicated to exploring the relationship between generative AI, intellectual property, ethics, and contemporary forms of creative production.

The event is organized in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Hellenic Copyright Organization, and is part of WIPO x ONX Futures: IP in Motion, a specialized program focused on intellectual property in the creative and audiovisual industries.

In dialogue with the thematic axis “Human in the Loop,” the event foregrounds the importance of human judgment, creative intention, and responsibility within an increasingly automated environment. From the development and production of moving image works to immersive and hybrid storytelling forms, the program opens a timely discussion on what it means to create, collaborate, and protect our work in the age of AI.

The event is implemented with the support of Smart Attica EDIH, co-funded by the European Union.
