Response to Establishment of the scientific panel of independent experts under the AI Act – implementing regulation

15 Nov 2024

FIMI, representing the Italian recording industry, acknowledges the objectives of the European Commissions proposal to establish a scientific panel of AI experts to assist the Commissions AI Office, other relevant Commission services, and national authorities in implementing the EU AI Act. Our industry recognises AIs potential to complement creativity, while also seeing firsthand the significant risks generative AI poses to copyright-protected content. The AI Act is an important step forward in defining a global model for ethical and responsible AI regulation. If implemented meaningfully, the Act holds the potential to address serious issues with generative AI models that ingest copyright-protected content on a massive scale without authorisation and to encourage partnerships between AI companies and rightholders. Considering this, we strongly recommend that the scientific panel includes experts who have deep expertise in copyright law, as well as a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities AI technologies present within the cultural and creative ecosystem. Adequate representation from such copyright specialists is essential to ensure that the panel can address complex issues concerning, for example, the unauthorised use of copyright-protected works, voice cloning, and deepfake contentall of which directly impact the livelihoods of artists and rightholders in Europe. We believe that including such experts will enable the scientific panel to better support the European Commission and national authorities in navigating the complexities of AIs impact on cultural and creative industries, safeguarding Europes creative community and fostering innovation within responsible boundaries.
