Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is casting a long shadow over the creative world. But when modern technology meets outdated federal (copyright and trademark) and state (right of publicity and defamation) law, things can get a little… frightening.

Join WNBA-SF for a spine-tingling discussion with Paul Levine, a literary agent and seasoned entertainment lawyer with 43 years of practice and Adjunct Professor of Entertainment Law at USC Gould School of Law.

Discover the tricks and treats of how AI is haunting the world of book publishing—and what authors and creatives need to know to protect their work.

Stick around for WNBA-SF’s annual Halloween Mixer, where you can share your scary publishing stories around the virtual campfire.

It’s a mixer, so invite a literary friend or two. Bring your own s’mores. Costumes optional.

**About the Speaker**
**Paul S. Levine** “wears two hats:” he is a lawyer ([www.paulslevine.com](http://www.paulslevine.com/)) and a literary agent ([www.paulslevinelit.com](http://www.paulslevinelit.com/)). Mr. Levine has practiced entertainment law for more than 40 years and established his first solo practice in 1992. Seeing an underserved niche on the West Coast, he decided early on to focus on serving book authors. This naturally evolved into his work as a literary agent. Seeking to expand the range of services he could offer his clients to include the representation of books, Levine opened The Paul S. Levine Literary Agency in 1996, which he has recently expanded. With a preference for politically and socially important works, he represents more than 200 book authors, the vast majority of whom are new, unpublished, or self-published writers. Levine presents extensively at writers’ conferences throughout the country and at entertainment law-related classes and seminars.
