The European Commission is preparing legislation to establish licensing requirements for content used in AI systems, according to EurActiv. The initiative forms part of the EU's ongoing effort to regulate artificial intelligence while protecting creator rights.
The consultation document outlines plans to enable creatives to receive compensation when their work is used for AI training and deployment. The move addresses growing concerns from artists, writers, and media organizations about unpaid use of their intellectual property in large language models and other AI applications.
The proposal reflects the Commission's broader strategy to balance AI innovation with protection of European intellectual property and cultural workers.
