Since genAI relies on and reproduces protected content, MEPs want full transparency about its use, including a list of each copyrighted work used and detailed records of crawling activities by AI providers and deployers. Failure to comply with transparency requirements could be tantamount to infringement of copyright, for which AI providers could bear legal consequences. MEPs also demand fair remuneration for the use of copyrighted content by AI to ensure that the EU’s creative and cultural sector can thrive in the AI age. They also ask the Commission to explore tools allowing rightsholders to prevent their work from being used by general-purpose AI systems. If copyrighted works are used to train AI systems, creators are entitled to transparency, legal certainty, and fair compensation.
