Hello and welcome to Transparentech. For this very first episode, I will introduce myself and this new podcast. Then I will give you a taste of this format and talk about the emergence of AI generative art and how it impacts  artists' process of creation and their profession in broader terms by taking a recent example from Twitter. The second point I will look at is how this new form of AI generative art sparks questions in terms of copyright protection and what legal challenges will determine this field in the upcoming months and years. 

Thank you very much for listening and please feel free to give me some feedback on this first episode of Transparentech!
