AI is profoundly changing the functioning of copyright. Which future for copyright offices in the AI and digital environment? How can, or even should, their regulatory role develop and expand? How AI is changing the functioning and role of National Copyright Offices, how international cooperation between copyright offices will develop in the AI environment and which power breakdown is to be established between collective management organizations, consumers, and copyright offices?
