Who Owns It? Who Gets Paid? AI, Rights Management, and the Future of Media Finance

Presented by Armanino Advisory LLC

Artificial intelligence is accelerating the most significant transformation in media economics since the rise of streaming. While much of the public discussion focuses on content creation, the larger impact may be on how intellectual property is owned, licensed, monetized, governed, and compensated. This session explores how AI is creating unique challenges across music, film, television, publishing, sports, video games, and live entertainment while forcing organizations to rethink rights management, revenue sharing, financial controls, and compliance.

Drawing on real-world developments across the media landscape, we examine where new risks and opportunities are emerging, what financial leaders should be monitoring, and how organizations can prepare for an increasingly complex rights and attribution environment. Attendees will leave with practical insights applicable to revenue operations, licensing, internal controls, strategic planning, and financial leadership.
