Joint statement from European creators and rightsholders on the AI Act

The European Publishers Council joins a broad coalition of over two hundred organisations in Europe’s media and creative industry sector to call on the Member States of the European Union to show global leadership and approve the AI Act at the COREPER meeting on 2 February.

These obligations represent a minimum basis to enable European creators and rights holders to ensure their rights are being respected and that authorisation is sought for the use of their content.

This will enable an environment where rights and commercial freedoms are respected by simultaneously fostering the licensing of creative content to AI models and kickstarting partnerships and innovation opportunities.
