The Forgotten Creator: A Statutory Remuneration Right for Machine Learning
Christophe Geiger and Vincenzo Iaia (LUISS Guido Carli University) · 2024 · Proposal · non-binding
Can AI be trained on protected works?
Closer to only with permission or pay
Replace the opt-out with a mandatory statutory remuneration right for commercial AI training
What it says
Grounded in a fundamental-rights balance between access to culture and creators' moral and material interests, the proposal replaces the EU text and data mining opt-out with a statutory remuneration scheme for commercial training, with income paid directly to creators.
Training stays possible, but creators are paid by law rather than by negotiation.
