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 🤝

I'm pleased to introduce ArtifAI, the project I recently worked on. ArtifAI is designed to identify the origins of artworks, helping to determine whether they are AI-generated or created by humans. It also aids in locating artworks' potential sources on the internet. ArtifAI addresses the unique challenges of copyright in the digital age, combining advanced AI technology with a GPT-based consultant to resolve copyright queries effectively. This tool is crucial for artists, legal experts, and art enthusiasts who need to safeguard and understand artwork provenance in this new era. I invite all artists, legal professionals, and art enthusiasts to explore and utilize ArtifAI, to better manage and understand the rights associated with artworks in this digital era. Here is the link to the platform: https://lnkd.in/gete3muR

"The government's role in this is crucial. Ensuring a future where AI contributes positively to society, without undermining the creative sector, is a task that demands careful but immediate attention and action. It's about fostering an environment where innovation coexists with the respect and protection of artists' rights, ensuring the creative sector remains vibrant and sustainable." Adelaide Damoah, on the results of our recent Artificial Intelligence survey on its potential impact on artists' careers and futures, shared by the Arts Professional.

Research Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Centre for IT and IP Law (CiTiP), Faculty of Law, KU Leuven
CREATe Spring School (25-30 April) on ‘Platforming Creativity’: Applications now open! #Cultural and #creativeindustries play an important role in modern economies, fostering #innovation , creating #jobs, and significantly contributing to #economicgrowth. But their primary role is that of fostering cultural diversity and development of our society, providing an outlet for people’s #creativity and #expression. Digitalisation and rapid technological progress have created unprecedented opportunities for creators, bringing diversity of available content. At the same time, #access to cultural and creative goods is now mediated by a new class of #gatekeepers, particularly #digitalplatforms, exacerbating the imbalances between content creators and producers. The changing dynamics within the creative and cultural industries, together with the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent raise of #generativeai tools, resulted in the European legislators’ activism, not limited to the copyright domain. Digital platforms have had profound effects on the cultural and creative industries, which are being considered to varying extent by legislators and policy makers in Europe. The #SpringSchool will address the current discussions from three perspectives: creativity (copyright), markets (competition law) and technology (tech regulation), with each perspective addressed on a separate day. All three perspectives are brought together on the last day, during a distinguished keynote. Participants in the Spring School will learn from leading experts in these fields, from CREATe, ReCreating Europe partners, and beyond. Confirmed speakers include: Ruth Towse (Professor of Economics of Creative Industries, Bournemouth University), Peter Mezei (Professor of Law, University of Szeged), Thomas Margoni (Research Professor of Intellectual Property Law, CiTiP, KU Leuven), Joost Poort (Associate Professor, IViR, University of Amsterdam), Dr. Konstantina Bania (Partner at Geradin Partners, Senior Lecturer at Brunel University London) as well as following members of CREATe: Ula Furgał (Lecturer in Intellectual Property and Information Law), Amy Thomas (Lecturer in Intellectual Property and Information Law), Stavros Makris (Lecturer in Competition Law), Magali Eben (Senior Lecturer in Competition Law, Dep. Dir.), Kristofer Erickson Erickson (Professor of Social Data Science, Dep. Dir.), and Martin Kretschmer (Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Director of CREATe), with the support of Bartolomeo Meletti Meletti (Copyright Education Creative Director). How to apply The online applications are now open. They will close on 12 February 2024, 23:59. To apply, fill in the application form on the Spring School page on CREATe’s website.

Glad to be in Brussels today for the conference organized by BVA-ABA Belgische Vereniging voor het Auteursrecht - Association Belge pour le Droit d'Auteur “The Automated Author: Take Control or Take The Money?” and join reputed scholars, professionals and policy makers to reflect on the future of Copyright and Generative AI in the EU. I will present on the “Alternatives to the opt-out to secure fair remuneration for creators: What role for the AI regulator?” and argue that the AI act cannot be the final answer with regard to this very important issue of Generative AI and that new solutions need to be imagined in order to safeguard future creativity and the remuneration interests of creators. More fundamentally, a reflection needs to be started urgently with regard to the governance structure of the EU copyright system in the Online world and new independent institutional guidance needs to be provided beyond the newly created AI office. The amazing program of the event can be consulted here:

🇨🇳 'China and our universities threaten to undermine Britain’s creativity', writes Andrew Orlowski "Even in a land with plenty of eccentrics, an #engineer in Missouri called Stephen Thaler stands out. Thaler is a man on a mission. The #computerscientist ’s most cherished creation is an #AI programme called DABUS. But it is not just any old AI, Thaler insists. #DABUS has feelings, invents things, and produces original art, its creator claims. Over several years he has filed many claims and appeals to Intellectual Property (IP) agencies around the world, including in the #UK, demanding that human IP rights be assigned to DABUS. The international treaties that underpin national law are quite clear, however: copyrights and patents can’t be assigned to a non-human entity. And certainly not an algorithm. In a rare visit to his workshop, The Economist compared Thaler to Pygmalion: “The sculptor who fell in love with his artwork after it sprang to life”. But Thaler’s eccentric crusade is not just a distracting aside – it has profound #geopolitical consequences. Giving IP protection to non-human entities opens a Pandora’s Box of trouble. #Software companies who develop Instagram filters could claim they were the real artists, not the photographer or painter using them. The most ambiguous computer generated squiggle could be copyrighted, and lookalikes then contested in court. Overworked patent offices would soon be spammed with junk inventions."

New CREATe Working Paper: ‘AI and Performers’ Rights in Historical Perspective’ by Elena Cooper – CREATe: Dr Elena Cooper, a Senior Research Fellow at CREATe, argues that as independent academic researchers, our role in policy-making settings is important. In a new article published in the European Intellectual Property Review, Dr Cooper highlights the need to understand legal history in the debate on the future of performers' rights. The article calls for a debate on the differences in legal treatment between authors and performers in the context of AI usage. This article was cited by Laurence Bouvard, Chair of Equity's Screen and new Media Committee, at a parliamentary event on the worker experience of the AI revolution. - IP topics: Intellectual Property topics! #ip #intellectualproperty #copyright
