AI and the Creative Industry: A Balancing Act

The EU’s groundbreaking AI Act, which came into force last year, was already in development when ChatGPT, an AI chatbot capable of generating elegant text formats like essays, jokes, and even job applications, burst onto the scene in late 2022. This rapid rise of generative AI has sparked intense debate about its impact on the creative industry.

Openness and Copyright Concerns

One of the most pressing concerns is the lack of transparency surrounding the training data used for these powerful AI models. Companies are not currently obligated to disclose the content used to train their AI, raising questions about copyright infringement and the potential for AI-generated content to infringe on the intellectual property of artists and creators.

Aafke Romeijn, a Dutch-language electropop artist, expressed the frustration felt by many creatives: “there was no practical way for creatives to opt out of having their work used in AI applications.”

While the EU AI Act mandates a summary of data used in AI models starting August 2nd, details about this requirement are still being finalized. Fifteen cultural organizations, including prominent arts institutions, wrote to the European Commission, arguing that the current draft proposals fail to ensure sufficient transparency.

They stressed that the impact of AI on creators “constitutes a systemic risk” and expressed concern that current legislation does not adequately protect the rights of artists and the value of their cultural creations.

The AI Act: Protection or a Diluted impact?

Brando Benifei, a member of the European parliament who played a role in negotiating the AI Act, disagrees with the assessment that creatives are unprotected. He believes the AI Act is a “very strong text” that has the potential to “create a very large rebalancing of power between the developers and the rights holders.”

He also acknowledged that there have been attempts to weaken the provisions of the AI Act as its implementation, arguing this is driven by “the big tech companies as it is indeed probably the part of the AI act that can be most impactful in terms of costs for the big generative AI companies.”

Looking Ahead: A Balancing Act

the European Commission has stated its commitment to “maintaining a balanced approach that fosters innovation while protecting human creativity.” They are currently assessing the need for additional measures to address the specific challenges posed by AI to the creative industry. While they haven’t confirmed whether new legislation is on the horizon,it’s clear that the conversation is ongoing and the debate will likely continue as AI technology evolves.

The future of the creative industry in the age of AI will depend on finding a delicate balance between harnessing the transformative potential of this technology while safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of the artists and creators who are essential to its success.

*Given the lack of transparency surrounding AI training data, how can creatives effectively opt-out of having their work used in AI applications?*
