Marks & Clerk in the news: AI exposes designers and architects to copyright complications say experts

For some time now, highly respected and hugely popular designs publication Dezeen has been running AItopia, a fascinating editorial series exploring the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on design, architecture, and humanity, both now and in the future.
