United States Copyright Office Register Shira Perlmutter oversees a team of 500 people and advises the U.S. Congress and the executive branch on copyright policy.

By definition her office is the foremost expert on copyright in the country. But she is the foremost expert, as a person, on copyright in the country. If you're excited or terrified by how music policy is being made around AI -- especially deepfakes and digital likeness -- you won't want to miss this wide-ranging public conversation with Register Perlmutter and NMPA President David Israelite.
