Over 24 European creative and rights holder organizations, including IFPI, IMPALA, and GESAC, have issued a joint statement calling for effective implementation of the EU AI Act to protect creators' rights.

The organizations emphasize that AI companies are currently using copyrighted content without authorization for AI model training, resulting in illegal commercial gains and unfair competitive advantages.

Key points from the joint statement:

• The AI Act should serve as a global standard for ethical AI regulation, similar to GDPR's role in data privacy
• AI providers must publicly disclose detailed summaries of training content
• Companies must demonstrate compliance with EU copyright law
• The Act should enable creators to enforce their rights regarding AI model training
• Implementation should foster fair market competition and proper remuneration for creators

The statement highlights that proper implementation is crucial for:

• Protecting European creative content value in global markets
• Ensuring AI services use high-quality, diverse inputs
• Creating a sustainable licensing market
• Supporting responsible AI innovation while protecting creative industries

The organizations seek concrete implementation steps to establish a framework that balances AI innovation with creative industry protection.
