AI And Copyright Consultation
Creative Rights in AI Coalition urges Government to enforce Copyright Law through transparency without compromising Rights
AOI is a member of the Coalition, and reacting to the release on 17th December of the government’s consultation on AI and copyright, the Creative Rights in AI Coalition said:
“Whilst members are still digesting the details of the consultation, rights holders do not support the new exception to copyright proposed. In fact, rights holders consider that the priority should be to ensure that current copyright laws are respected and enforceable.
“The only way to guarantee creative control and spur a dynamic licensing – and generative AI – market is for the onus to be on generative AI developers to seek permission and engage with rights holders to agree licences. We welcome proposals for transparency measures which will allow rights holders to understand how their work has been used but these should be implemented to make existing copyright law enforceable, rather than being offered as a ‘trade off’ for the degradation of copyright protections.”
