Q&A with Maya Bielinski
Maya teaches Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship: Creating in the Age of AI.
“Creative entrepreneurs today are living at the intersection of three active fault lines: technology, law, and society’s idea of originality are all moving beneath our feet. This course is relevant because it equips students with knowledge and skills to keep their balance and thrive as artists and entrepreneurs.”
