🗣️ CC’s Brigitte Vézina spoke at the CCIA Europe #EuropeanAIRoundtable "AI & Copyright - Shaping Europe's Creative Future". 🎥 Watch the full interview with other experts to learn more about the interplay between #AI and #copyright in the EU: https://loom.ly/vAMC1fo Key messages : 🧑🎨There is great diversity of opinions among creators within the CC community, including artists who use generative AI tools ▶️ https://lnkd.in/g6gTQHir 💻 It's important for copyright to leave room for people to analyze existing works to create new ones, including by using statistics and machine learning to do so ▶️ https://loom.ly/hL5wm7E 🚥 Copyright is only one prism through which AI developments should be considered. Preference signals provide an important path to reconcile different interests ▶️ https://lnkd.in/ec9-9_K8 📂 Transparency is key ▶️ https://loom.ly/FK8InxQ

Two decades ago, we revolutionized the #copyright system with our #openlicenses 🔓, creating a more permissive model of sharing that recalibrated the balance between creators' rights 👩🎨 & the public interest. But, our work isn’t finished. #WorldIPDay This year’s theme is IP and the #SDGs. We love a discussion & celebration about copyright, creativity, culture, and the commons. We believe that balances within intellectual property systems are an important part of the creative ecosystem. https://loom.ly/-0z3rd0 Interested in how we enact our commitment to the United Nations #SDGs? 1️⃣ the SDGs identify the world’s most urgent challenges, enabling us to focus our priorities to ensure a better future for all. 2️⃣ To collectively address these global challenges, including climate change, knowledge and culture must be open and accessible to all. CC is paving the way for #bettersharing of #climatedata with: World Meteorological Organization, @ECMWF, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and World Resources Institute. Read our Open Climate Data Recommendations for 1️⃣ setting legal terms, 2️⃣ using metadata for attribution and provenance & 3️⃣ governance. https://loom.ly/ILKdlF4 Join us as we work to encourage better sharing 🤝 so that we can create a brighter future 🔅. You can support our work by becoming a member of the CC Global Network or donating to our cause ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gG6kpiKj #WorldIPDay #BetterSharing
