This year the Open Culture Program has already published a number of new resources, including a report on the Benefits of Open Culture and Guidelines on Institutional Referencing. This is just one of the many resources from the Open Culture Program that would have more impact if available in more languages. In 2023, our amazing volunteers translated more than 150k words into languages such as français, Português, italiano, and Bahasa Indonesian. So now, we need your help for 2024. Can you read and write another language? Would you like to help make these resources available in your language? Join the 2024 translation sprint today! https://loom.ly/ZJpmWnw

On June 3rd, CREATe participated in a roundtable on IP, AI, and Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in the UK, organised by Harriet Deacon from the University of Hull and hosted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in London. The discussion was sparked by the UK’s adoption of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of ICH 🤚 Experts from academia, government, heritage organisations, and creative industries explored AI’s role in ICH inventorying and IP. Key concerns included digital exclusion, loss of control over ICH, and securing compensation. Proposed solutions ranged from a sui generis system for ICH to technological protection measures like Glaze and Nightshade 🌐 The event also highlighted the challenges around ‘fixation’ in copyright law and the dynamic nature of ICH. Future research areas include the tension between ‘open culture’ and community stewardship, part of CREATe’s themes on Access to Knowledge and Legal History 🔎 CREATe is eager to continue investigating these issues. We’re collaborating with Creative Commons on a new research project on open business models in the GLAM sectors and have several ongoing projects on AI. A promising outcome is a potential collaboration with Paula Westenberger on her project Responsible AI for Heritage 🤝

What do #OpenData and Creative Commons have in common? 🤔 Both aim to promote #openness, #accessibility, and the sharing of information! 🔎 But how? #CreativeCommons promotes the use and publication of open data by offering flexible licensing options that make it easy for data owners to share their works. These licenses allow creators to specify how their data can be used, modified, and distributed, creating clear rules and reducing legal barriers. ⭐ 👉 In this way, Creative Commons stimulates innovation and collaboration, enabling more individuals and organizations to benefit from and contribute to a shared knowledge base. "There are many ideas that can only be realized thanks to open access to cultural heritage," explains Connor Benedict, Open Culture Coordinator at Creative Commons. 🚀 Gain deeper insights by reading our interview with Connor on the blog! #EntryScape #MetaSolutions #DataSharing #Data
