Panel on Autonomous Corporations, Media Accountability, and Norms

In a future where games are created by machines, characters are shaped by algorithms, and storylines evolve without human input, one question challenges legal systems across the globe: Who owns a world when no one made it? The General Assembly’s Panel on Autonomous Corporations, Media Accountability, and Norms brings together member states to examine the shifting legal ground beneath the digital entertainment economy. In an age where artificial intelligence is transforming the creation, distribution, and monetization of the gaming industry as we know it, this special subcommittee on corporate law will explore how international legal standards can uphold accountability, protect creative rights, and confront algorithmic bias in increasingly autonomous industries.

In topic 1, delegates will focus on legal accountability in the digital entertainment sector, investigating how corporate behavior in gaming and media can be regulated across borders. This topic challenges delegates to design international legal frameworks that demand transparency, promote fairness, and prevent exploitation in digital gaming workspaces. Topic 2 explores how our present world is one where AI creates characters, writes dialogue, and generates entire experiences, resulting in the unraveling of authorship. Delegates will debate how intellectual property law must evolve to address nonhuman creativity, user modifications, and consent in generative media. Central to this conversation is cultural equity and the power dynamics of automation.
