Judge M. Margaret McKeown of the Ninth Circuit delivered the BTLJ Spring Lunch Keynote on May 7, 2026, arguing that generative AI presents copyright’s most profound doctrinal stress test since the internet, but that the 1976 Copyright Act’s flexible language—particularly the fair use factors and the undefined scope of “original works of authorship”—remains capable of absorbing the disruption, even as courts await a first appellate decision and Congress remains largely dormant.
