European Parliament wants AI tools to respect copyright
Technology
The European Parliament wants all generative AI (GenAI) tools in the European Union to follow local copyright laws, no matter where they're from.
The new proposals would require AI companies to be up front about any copyrighted material used to train their models and could even block non-compliant providers from operating in the EU.
Creators get more control and fair pay
If these rules pass, creators get more control and fair pay when their work is used by AI. Artists and writers could even say no to having their content used for training.
This builds on earlier EU laws aiming for fairness in the fast-growing GenAI space.
Groups representing composers and songwriters welcomed the report, calling it a strong political signal in favor of fair remuneration for creators.
