EU lawmakers want AI to pay for using copyrighted work

European Union lawmakers have demanded artificial intelligence (AI) providers pay for their use of copyrighted European content as they called for expanded rules to apply to generative AI.
In a report adopted by the European Parliament’s legal affairs committee, lawmakers demanded full transparency about what content is used for generative AI systems and fair remuneration for creators.
Generative AI systems are a subset of artificial intelligence that create novel content — including text, images, audio, code and 3D models.
Its call comes ahead of a review of the EU’s copyright rules this summer.
EU copyright law should apply to all generative AI systems available in the bloc’s market, regardless of where the training happens, the committee added.
