European Parliament resolution on copyright and generative AI

AI training and copyright

Can AI be trained on protected works?

Closer to only with permission or pay

Parliament asks for EU copyright to apply to all AI on the EU market, with transparency and fair pay

What it says

The non-binding resolution asks the Commission to propose legislation extending EU copyright rules to all generative AI systems placed on the EU market wherever trained, to require itemised disclosure of works used in training, to facilitate voluntary collective licensing, and to examine remuneration for past uses.

A strong political signal from the EU Parliament in favour of creators. The Commission decides whether to legislate.
