Creative Commons welcomes the adoption by the European Parliament of the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act. We engaged intensively with EU policymakers to safeguard the appropriate interplay with EU copyright legislation. The EU must now ensure implementation allows broad, open access to harness the full potential of generative AI whilst enforcing the safeguards provided.
The EU’s political institutions announced that they have reached a tentative final agreement. While details are still not finalized and many questions remain regarding treatment of certain high-risk systems, the agreement appears promising relative to the recent Parliament text and from the perspective of supporting open source, open science, as well as on copyright.
In August, the United States Copyright Office issued a Notice of Inquiry seeking public responses to 34 questions (and several sub-questions) about the intersection of copyright law and artificial intelligence.

CC joined in the conversation to provide our own thoughts on copyright and AI to the copyright office.
