A coalition of over 20 organisations representing creators and rightsholders across the European Union has issued a joint letter urging EU leaders to enforce the AI Act with meaningful measures to protect copyright and ensure fair remuneration.

CEPIC successfully contributed an extensive response to the consultation by the European AI Office ahead of its first Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI Models. With 427 respondents from industry, rightsholders, civil society, and academia, the consultation aimed to establish a well-rounded foundation for drafting the first version of the AI Code. Here we summarise the initial findings from the closed questions, which offer valuable insights into transparency, copyright, risk assessment, and internal governance.

Insights and images by Philippe François, Belga Images & CEPIC board member, highlight the power and challenges of modern photojournalism.
