On Dec 4, CEATL, together with 12 other authors’ and performers’ organisations representing hundreds of thousands of European cultural and creative workers signed a joint statement to Executive Vice-President Virkunnen and Commissioner Micallef of the European Commission on the Impact of AI on the European creative community. The letter points out that the AI Act fails to adequately protect the value of their members’ cultural works.

We welcome technological evolvement, but consent, transparency and fair remuneration
for authors and performers should be at the heart of the forthcoming AI strategy for the
cultural and creative industries..
