Fælles erklæring om ophavsret og AI

 

Fælleserklæring fra danske rettighedsorganisationer 

Den menneskelige kreativitet må ikke udhules af AI

Den menneskelige kreativitet har altid været en hjørnesten i Danmarks kulturelle identitet, og kunstneres kreative arbejde beriger vores samfund og former vores verdenssyn og værdier på utallige måder. 

Den menneskelige kultur udfordres imidlertid markant af udbydere af kunstig intelligens (AI) - og særligt generativ AI-tjenester. Det er vores opgave som samfund at bevare det menneskelige kunstneriske udtryk, og et af de absolut vigtigste redskaber til at understøtte det formål er ophavsretslovgivningen.

No-one left behind, no language left behind, no book left behind _ CEATL
Since the beginning of 2023, the spectacular evolution of artificial intelligence, and in particular the explosion in the use of generative AI in all areas of creation, has raised fundamental questions and sparked intense debate. While professional organisations are coordinating to exert as much influence as possible on negotiations regarding the legal framework for these technologies (see in particular the statement co-signed by thirteen federations of authors’ and performers’ organisations), CEATL has drafted its own statement detailing its stance on the use of generative AIs in the field of literary translation.

Humans at the heart of technology

On 13 June, the Société française des traducteurs (SFT), France’s union for professional translators and interpreters, published a statement on artificial intelligence based on the results of a survey of its members in November and December 2023. The SFT is voicing the concerns of the professions it represents that humans should remain at the heart of this technology and that, if they continue unchecked, generative AI solutions used for translation and interpreting could lead to the impoverishment of both language and of critical thinking, the very essence of communication – and of our humanity.

AI Licensing for Authors: Who Owns the Rights and What’s a Fair Split?

The Authors Guild believes it is crucial that authors, not publishers or tech companies, have control over the licensing of AI rights. Authors must be able to choose whether they want to allow their works to be used by AI and under what terms.. A trade publishing agreement grants just that: a license to publish. Link here/.
