In a digital world where "copy-paste" is the default setting, what content is legally protected and what isn't? From AI-generated imagery to the hidden licensing traps of stock photos, businesses are unknowingly sitting on, or infringing upon, massive intellectual property (IP) risks.

Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi from Halim Hong & Quek join Tech Talk to discuss the current state of Malaysian copyright law, break down why the "IP by Design" philosophy is the only way to protect your business, and the legal grey areas of AI-generated content, which current looks to be not a copyright.
