Rapporteur Axel Voss will brief journalists on Tuesday 10 March at 15.00 on Parliament’s proposals to protect EU creative production in the age of artificial intelligence.
Earlier in the day, plenary is set to outline principles to protect copyrighted content from free use in generative artificial intelligence (AI) training. MEPs want to ensure that AI providers clearly acknowledge the protected content they use to train AI tools and grant right-holders fair remuneration. The draft report to be put to a vote at noon suggests that right-holders should be able to prevent the use of their protected content for AI training and insists that the training of AI with content generated in the EU should be subject to EU laws. The protection of the press sector and the dangers of generative AI for media pluralism are also addressed in the report.
Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) rapporteur Axel Voss (EPP, DE) will brief journalists following the plenary vote and will answer questions about the next steps.
