Director or Senior Director - AI, Creativity, and Copyright Policy

Chamber of Progress - a center-left tech industry association - is seeking a leader for “Generate & Create,” our new campaign to defend the copyright doctrine of fair use and the explosion of creativity through generative artificial intelligence.

Generative AI is unleashing new waves of creativity - including new forms of written, visual, and audio expression.  Opponents of fair use are working to shut down AI-created art through legal and legislative action. Generate & Create is a new campaign to encourage and promote this open canvas of AI-driven creativity.
