On June 3rd, CREATe participated in a roundtable on IP, AI, and Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in the UK, organised by Harriet Deacon from the University of Hull and hosted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in London. The discussion was sparked by the UK’s adoption of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of ICH 🤚 Experts from academia, government, heritage organisations, and creative industries explored AI’s role in ICH inventorying and IP. Key concerns included digital exclusion, loss of control over ICH, and securing compensation. Proposed solutions ranged from a sui generis system for ICH to technological protection measures like Glaze and Nightshade 🌐 The event also highlighted the challenges around ‘fixation’ in copyright law and the dynamic nature of ICH. Future research areas include the tension between ‘open culture’ and community stewardship, part of CREATe’s themes on Access to Knowledge and Legal History 🔎 CREATe is eager to continue investigating these issues. We’re collaborating with Creative Commons on a new research project on open business models in the GLAM sectors and have several ongoing projects on AI. A promising outcome is a potential collaboration with Paula Westenberger on her project Responsible AI for Heritage 🤝

🎉 New Working Paper 🎉 Lilian Edwards, Igor Szpotakowski, Gabriele Cifrodelli, Joséphine Sangaré and James Stewart funded by UK Research and Innovation have explored the terms of service across various AI providers 🤖 They found that these providers often try to position themselves as neutral platforms, much like social media, but without facing the same regulations. Their findings highlight the critical need for transparent and enforceable self-regulation as legislative processes continue to evolve ⚖ Want to read more? 👇 https://lnkd.in/d6EmWqWB
