Partners Mimi Palmer and Olalekan (Wole) Akinremi will speak during Beyond Inspiration: When AI in design becomes a legal issue, a webinar that will be hosted by RGD on Thursday, October 30, 2025.

The one-hour session will explore the evolving legal and ethical challenges facing graphic designers working with generative AI and synthetic media. In this webinar, Mimi & Wole will translate fast-moving legal rules into plain language and practical steps you can apply to real projects.

Through real-world examples, they’ll cover:

• Can AI-assisted outputs be protected by copyright—and if so, by whom?
• When and how you can use personal information, likenesses, and voices without violating privacy, publicity, or moral rights.
• Contracts that protect you: scopes of work, client approvals, usage rights, indemnities, licensing, and clear AI disclosures.
• The latest cases and regulatory trends in Canada and the U.S. that affect everyday design decisions.
• A practical checklist of “do's and don’ts” for graphic designers when integrating AI into their workflow.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of the risks and opportunities of AI in design, and concrete best practices to protect their work, clients, and reputation.
