As high-tech manufacturers accelerate software-driven innovation—from automotive systems to smart appliances—the reliance on open-source software and AI coding assistants is transforming development workflows. But this shift brings new challenges: opaque license obligations, automated code reuse, and increasing legal scrutiny across global supply chains.

Join our AI, open source, and IP experts for an in-depth session on how to navigate the evolving landscape of OSS license compliance. We’ll cover:

• How AI-assisted coding tools impact copyright and license exposure
• Best practices for managing OSS across embedded, consumer, and industrial product lines
• How to build a defensible compliance program without slowing innovation
