Da das Gesetz über Künstliche Intelligenz voraussichtlich bald vom Rat der EU verabschiedet wird, haben 13 Organisationen, die Urheber:innen und ausübende Künstler:innen aus allen kreativen Bereichen vertreten, darunter auch ECSA, am 25. April 2024 eine gemeinsame Erklärung zu Künstlicher Intelligenz und die EU-Verordnung über Künstliche Intelligenz veröffentlicht.
As the AI Act is expected to be adopted soon by the Council of the EU, 13 organisations representing authors and performers across all creative sectors, including ECSA, published a joint statement on 25 April on AI and the EU AI Act. In this statement, we welcome the adoption of the AI Act as a first step in the right direction but we note that it still needs to be implemented in an effective way in order to preserve fundamental rights, safeguard transparency, and enable authors and performers to exercise their rights. We also question extending the scope of the TDM exception (Article 4 of the DSM Directive) to generative AI, in a context where creators’ works and personal data have already been scraped at an unprecedented scale without any possibility for them to reserve their rights. Going forward, creators must not only be involved in discussions related to the reservation of their rights, but also in broader policy discussions regarding generative AI. EU policy makers should design an ambitious strategy for a human-centric AI that ensures creators can exercise informed consent, be fairly remunerated for the use of their works, and receive financial compensation for current and future AI-produced contents that their work has contributed to generate.
