Legal Affairs MEPs emphasize the importance of protecting copyrighted work used by generative artificial intelligence (genAI). They advocate for transparency, fair remuneration for rightsholders, and the need for EU copyright law to apply to all genAI systems in the market. MEPs push for measures to ensure the creative sector is adequately compensated, protect news media, and prevent manipulation of AI-generated content. The goal is to foster innovation while upholding intellectual property rights. Clear and enforceable rules are seen as crucial for maintaining Europe's technological sovereignty. The report will be voted on in plenary in March, aiming to address legal issues concerning genAI and copyright.
