GESAC applauds the Committee’s strong commitment to addressing creators’ concerns and welcomes its call for targeted EU legislation to ensure transparency, fairness and respect for authors’ rights. The adopted text notes, in particular, that such legislative intervention should:
- reaffirm the full applicability of EU and national copyright laws to all generative AI services operating in the EU regardless of where they are established or developed,
- provide meaningful transparency obligations for generative AI services,
- introduce a presumption mechanism to achieve a functioning licensing market, and consider solutions to address the harmful substitution effects of AI-generated outputs competing unfairly with the original works of creators.
