Last month, the European Parliament and Council gave the green light to an important piece of legislation: the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA). In this blog post, we look at the aims of the EMFA and why it matters for Creative Commons (CC) and everyone’s right to access trustworthy information.

Creative Commons welcomes the adoption by the European Parliament of the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act. We engaged intensively with EU policymakers to safeguard the appropriate interplay with EU copyright legislation. The EU must now ensure implementation allows broad, open access to harness the full potential of generative AI whilst enforcing the safeguards provided.
