• GESAC, with support from HDS ZAMP, supports the introduction of new EU laws to regulate generative artificial intelligence.
  • The current legal framework, including the CDSM directive and the AI Act, is insufficient to address the issue of unauthorized use of copyrighted works.
  • Global AI companies refuse to cooperate with collective management organizations and do not provide compensation to authors.
  • Licensing arrangements based on US fair use are not aligned with European standards.
  • AI-generated content is replacing human works and reducing the market value of creative work.
  • GESAC advocates for a specific European law that would define the obligation to license all stages of generative AI development and operation.
