This week, representatives of CISAC and GESAC - The European Authors' Societies met with the Executive Vice-president of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen, at a critical time for the #AIAct implementation process.
CISAC President and ABBA songwriter Björn Ulvaeus shared the deep concerns of the creator community over the final drafts of the key documents, namely the Code of Practice, the Guidelines, and the Template developed under the AI Office’s responsibility.
Despite consistent, detailed, and constructive engagement of creators and their societies, the final outcome represents a serious dilution of the meaningful protections that co-legislators intended to enshrine.
The current implementation of the AI Act falls short of safeguarding the creative sector and, if not corrected, risks undermining Europe’s AI Act and copyright framework in favour of a few global tech companies, sending the message that Europe is stepping back from its commitment to responsible and trustworthy AI that empowers European industries.
We call on the European Commission to take urgent steps to revisit the implementation package to uphold the European creative sector and enforce European intellectual property rights in the emerging EU AI market.
