The 9 Discussion Topics
- Copyright Laws and Intellectual Property Rights AI-generated content raises questions about ownership, fair use and the impact of copyright laws on creators and AI developers. How should UK law adapt to ensure fairness for all stakeholders?<
- Finding the Right Balance between EU & US The EU AI Act is already in force and provides for creators to opt-out. It also provides stronger enforcement of existing copyright laws. The US by comparison is exploring a laissez-faire approach that empowers the GenAI companies. Where should the UK align?
- Negotiating a Licence Agreements Many organisations (including news publishers) have negotiated a licensing agreement with GenAI business, to allow them to access their creative materials to be used as training data. Does this model work and is it a solution?
- Using AI to Protect Creative Work Creators want to get paid for their work, but first they must have a way to track when companies (including Generative AI models) are accessing and using their work. Can AI-powered tools help to identify and track when their creative work is being used and enable more accurate licensing?
- AI as a Collaborative Tool vs. a Competitive Threat Can AI be seen as an assistant that enhances human creativity, or does it undermine creative professionals by replacing their art with automated outputs.
- Finding Fair Compensation Models for Creators What alternative models are there to ensure human creators benefit when their work contributes to AI training data?
- Consumer Perception and Acceptance Are audiences comfortable consuming AI-generated media and should transparency labels be mandatory to indicate AI involvement in creative works?
- Addressing Global Monopolies Some tech companies are powerful enough to influence government decision making and regulation. The EU has held many large tech businesses to account with significant fines, but the US could ignore these EU fines. Against this backdrop, how do we ensure a level playing field for creators?
- The Impact of AI on Journalism, Free Speech and Democracy Democracy relies upon free speech and journalists being able to hold governments, businesse and powerful individuals to account. What impact are GenAI companies having on journalism?
