In reply to questions from MEPs @RipaManuela and @nzingaretti , Commissioner designate @GlennMicallef aims at working on a tailor-made strategy for AI in the cultural and creative sectors (CCS) which supports: - the adaptation of CCS to AI - the ethical + fair use of AI, with more transparency on the training input and ensuring the fair remuneration of creative professionals. - labelling obligations for AI generated content. - more collaboration from the tech sector with the CCS. Encouraging words from Commissioner designate @GlennMicallef to promote consent, transparency and remuneration for the use of creators’ works by AI companies. 🙏🙏🙏 @HennaVirkkunen #CommissionerHearings @screencomposer2 @helienne @laurencefarreng @fera @UNI_Europa @HannesHeide @saabrussels @authorsocieties @neilturkewitz @EMC_IMC @authorsocieties
