SUMMARY:Peace in the Ancient Near East: Insights into the world's first attested peace treaty
DESCRIPTION:Peace in the Ancient Near East: Insights into the world’s first attested peace treaty\nIn-person event\n \nThis seminar gives some background to the first attested peace treaty in world history\, between Ramses II of Egypt and Hattusili III of Hatti. This treaty survives in several copies\, in two languages (Ancient Egyptian and Akkadian) and in two countries (Egypt and Turkey). This seminar will explain some of the provisions of the treaty and also examine some of the treaty’s more unusual aspects\, for instance\, that its formation was not a direct consequence of conflict\, and that not all of its articles are bilateral. \nAbout the author:\nDr Camilla Di Biase-Dyson \nA Sydneysider with a passion for Ancient Egypt since childhood\, Dr Camilla Di Biase-Dyson has BA(Hons) and PhD degrees in Ancient History from Macquarie University (2000-2008).

SUMMARY:How Canada Chose Exile: The decision to banish Japanese Canadians\, 1946
DESCRIPTION:How Canada Chose Exile: The decision to banish Japanese Canadians\, 1946\nThis event is proudly co-presented by the University of Sydney Law School and Discipline of History.\nIn-person event\n \nAs the end of the Second World War drew into view\, federal officials in Canada faced a policy problem of their own creation. They had displaced over 22\,000 people of Japanese descent from their Pacific Coast communities and dispossessed them of their homes. With the scale of Nazi crimes in Europe increasingly known\, mass internment of people on the basis of race had become unsustainable. Yet\, many remained convinced that Japanese Canadians were “unassimilable” in Canadian society on the basis of race. To resolve the problem of internment\, Canadian officials devised a new harm\, seeking to banish to Japan as many as possible so that the diminished number left behind could be allowed to live freely. This presentation explores Canada’s tangled path to exile amidst the dramatic shifts and stubborn continuities of the close of the Second World War. Seeking to situate Canada’s exile within a global history of the unmixing of peoples in the 1940s\, the paper will close in reflection on Australia’s own expulsion of people of Japanese descent in the same era. \nAbout the author:\nJordan Stanger-Ross is Professor of History at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia. His past publications include Landscapes of Injustice: A New Perspective on the Internment and Dispossession of Japanese Canadians (2020) which received the John T. Saywell Prize in Canadian Constitutional Legal History. \n  \nFriday 3 May\, 1-2pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is proudly co-presented by the University of Sydney Law School and Discipline of History.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola's War: Rape without Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment\nDr Olivera Simic\, Associate Professor\, Griffith Law School\, Australia\nIn-person event \nWe invite you to this Visiting Staff Research Seminar with Associate Professor Olivera Simic in conjunction with Professor Emily Crawford at the Sydney Centre for International Law. \nAbout this Seminar \nIn this seminar\, Dr. Simic will speak about her recently published book\, Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment.  The book offers a subtle understanding of the Bosnian war by listening to the voice of Lola\, a rural Bosnian woman who in the first two months of war had become a widow\, displaced\, unemployed\, homeless\, disabled and a sole caretaker of her nine-month-old baby\, four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son with whom she was forcibly taken from her family home to detention and rape camp. In span of only few weeks\, her whole life was torn into pieces and turned into nightmare. In Lola’s War Dr Simić tells extraordinary story of one woman and her three decades long fight for justice. She explores the meanings of transitional justice by using in-depth narrative of a woman\, wartime rape survivor who came out the other side of a trial empty handed and with no justice in sight. Her perpetrator is still at large\, and she lives in continual fear that he will retaliate against her and her children for her role in his trial. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nOlivera Simić is an Associate Professor with the Griffith Law School\, a feminist and a human rights activist. Dr Simić was born in the former Yugoslavia and lived through the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1999). She was nineteen years old\, studying the first year of a law degree in Bosnia and Herzegovina when the Bosnian War broke out in 1992. Initially as a refugee and later as a migrant\, Dr Simić lived and studied in Eastern and Western Europe\, the USA and South America\, before coming to Australia in 2006. She has published four monographs and eight co-edited collections\, numerous book chapters\, journal articles and personal narratives. They draw on hundreds of interviews with victims\, perpetrators and bystanders of the wars. The stories of people who struggle with post-war trauma and seek some form of justice for crimes they survived\, particularly women\, are at the heart of Dr Simić’s work. Dr Simić was a nominee for the Penny Pether Prize for Scholarship in Law\, Literature and the Humanities\, and won the Peace Women Award from Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF\, Australian branch). \n——————————— \nMonday\, 13 November 2023\nTime: 12.45- 2.00pm \nVenue: University of Sydney\, Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Camperdown\, Gadigal Land\, 2006. Please follow directional signage on arrival. \n——————————— \nThis event is presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law at the University of Sydney Law School. \nEnquiries may be directed to: law.events@sydney.edu.au

SUMMARY:Copyright and Generative AI: Best practices for LLM training and recent developments in U.S. litigation
DESCRIPTION:Copyright and Generative AI: Best practices for LLM training and recent developments in U.S. litigation\nAbstract \nGenerative AI based on large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT\, DALL·E-2\, Midjourney\, Stable Diffusion\, JukeBox\, and MusicLM can produce text\, images\, and music that are indistinguishable from human-authored works. The training data for these large language models consists predominantly of copyrighted works. This presentation and the accompanying article explore how generative AI fits within U.S. fair use rulings established in relation to previous generations of copy-reliant technology\, including software reverse engineering\, automated plagiarism detection systems\, and the text data mining at the heart of the landmark HathiTrust and Google Books cases. \nAlthough there is no machine learning exception to the principle of non-expressive use\, the largeness of likelihood models suggest that they are capable of memorizing and reconstituting works in the training data\, something that is incompatible with non-expressive use. At the moment\, memorization is an edge case. For the most part\, the link between the training data and the output of generative AI is attenuated by a process of decomposition\, abstraction\, and remix. Generally\, pseudo-expression generated by large language models does not infringe copyright because these models “learn” latent features and associations within the training data\, they do not memorize snippets of original expression from individual works. \nHowever\, there are particular situations in the context of text-to-image models where memorization of the training data is more likely. The computer science literature suggests that memorization is more likely when: models are trained on many duplicates of the same work; images are associated with unique text descriptions; and the ratio of the size of the model to the training data is relatively large. Professor Sag will talk through examples where these problems are accentuated and outline his proposals for initial best practices for “Copyright Safety for Generative AI” to reduce the risk of copyright and related infringement. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nMatthew Sag is a Professor of Law in Artificial Intelligence\, Machine Learning and Data Science at Emory University Law School. Professor Sag is an expert in copyright law and intellectual property. He is a leading U.S. authority on the fair use doctrine in copyright law and its implications for researchers in the fields of text data mining\, machine learning\, and AI. \nHe was born and educated in Australia and earned honors in Law at the Australian National University in Canberra and clerked for Justice Paul Finn at the Australian Federal Court. Sag practiced law London as an associate at Arnold & Porter\, and in Silicon Valley with Skadden\, Arps\, Slate\, Meagher & Flom. Prior to Emory\, he taught at DePaul University and Loyola Chicago; he has also held visiting posts at Northwestern University\, the University of Virginia and the University of Melbourne. \nSag is currently working on several theoretical contributions to copyright law in relation to AI and machine learning and a series of empirical papers using text-mining and machine learning tools to study judicial behavior. His work has been published in leading journals such as Nature\, and the law reviews of the University of California Berkeley\, Georgetown\, Northwestern\, Notre Dame\, Vanderbilt\, Iowa and William & Mary\, among others. His research has been widely cited in academic works\, court submissions\, judicial opinions and government reports. \nAbout the Moderator \n \nDaniela Simone is an intellectual property law scholar with a special interest in copyright law and the challenges of the digital age. Daniela holds DPhil\, MPhil and BCL degrees from the University of Oxford and a BA (English and French)/LLB (Hons I) degree from the University of Sydney. Daniela is a qualified lawyer and has worked at global commercial law firm\, Ashurst. \nPrior to joining Macquarie Law School\, Daniela was Lecturer in Law and Co-Director of the Institute of Brand and Innovation Law at University College London. Daniela was founder of the University of Oxford’s Intellectual Property Discussion Group (and its convenor until 2013). She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy with extensive experience in course design and innovative\, research-led teaching. \nDaniela’s research explores the intersection of law\, technology\, and culture. She is interested in collaborative authorship\, artificial intelligence\, the disruption new technology has brought to copyright law\, regulation of the internet\, the interaction between law and social norms\, the international IP system\, philosophy of IP\, and the regulation of cultural property. Her work embraces comparative and inter-disciplinary methods and she is keen to engage directly with stakeholders. \n  \n——————————— \nTime: 1.00- 2.00pm (arrivals are welcomed from 12.30pm to mingle and settle in with lunch) \nDate: Thursday\, 12 October 2023 \nVenue: In-person: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown\, Gadigal Land\, NSW 2006 (please follow directional signage on arrival) \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly co-hosted by the University of Sydney Law School and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S).
