"How to identify original works by artists? How to attribute works generated by AI intermediaries? How to remunerate authors whose works have been used? How to manage opt-outs for artists who refuse their content to be used by AI? These are the questions that require a review of the copyright directive in light of generative AI,” says Mireille Clapot, the Member of Parliament leading on the opinion and President of France's National Assembly’s High Commission for Digital and Posts (CNSP).

Although Clapot and her colleagues welcome the AI Act, they believe the Copyright Directive will have to be amended because of the recent technological developments in AI.

Would be a great incentive to make new art then, wouldn't it?

It might seem strange to you only because you aren't used to it. However, copyright is a fairly new concept, and most of human history happened without it.

What do you mean? Artist have often a personal and intimate connection to their art and might be upset if someone uses it in a context they might dislike. For example a liberal artist art is used in a racist propaganda. Or a big corporation just used your favorite painting in a commercial for something you completely disagree with. I think artist should be able to hold the rights for their art as long as they are alive.

And we had no democracy, women had little rights a lot of people were some kind of slaves (and still are). Took humanity some time to come up with some very important concepts.
