In this episode, Thembi sits down with Dr. Dan Miller, The Copyright Detective, for a timely and practical conversation about copyright, authorship, and the quickly emerging relevance of artificial intelligence. As AI tools become part of everyday creative workflows, Dr. Miller helps break down what creatives need to know to protect their work.

Dr. Miller explains what “copyrightability” actually means, the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted content, why “fair use” is often misunderstood, and one important action that creators should take within 90 days of completing an artistic work.

Dan Miller, PhD is known as The Copyright Detective. With a background in higher education and years of experience working with authors, publishers, and creatives, Dan helps demystify copyright law and intellectual property, particularly as it intersects with emerging technology and AI. He is a frequent speaker, educator, and advocate for creators learning how to protect and enforce their rights in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
