AI Act: EU Urged to Uphold Creator Rights in Implementation
The AI Act, passed in early 2024, is hailed as a crucial tool for fostering AI growth in Europe while safeguarding the EU's creative sectors. It equips authors, performers, and rightsholders with vital means to assert and enforce their rights.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has urged EU policymakers to uphold key principles in implementing the AI Act. These principles include transparency, consent, and creator protection.
The successful implementation of the AI Act relies on the active participation of various EU stakeholders. This includes members of the European Parliament, EU Commissioners, and national supervisory authorities appointed by each member state. Their roles involve enforcing regulations, ensuring compliance, and adapting governance frameworks to align with the law's objectives and the Parliament's intent.
The AI Act's effectiveness hinges on robust implementation standards. Weak standards risk undermining the act's goals, violating EU law, and disregarding the EU legislator's intent.
