20 May 2025: Today IFPI is calling on EU policymakers to #StayTrueToTheAct. The AI Act gave creators the tools to defend their rights. But low implementation standards could undermine its goals, contravene EU law & undermine its objective.
Passed in early 2024, the AI Act has provided authors, performers and other rightsholders with tools that are essential to exercise and enforce their rights.
This was recognised by the EU legislator as a key means to support the development of AI in Europe and protect the EU’s creative sectors that drive its cultural and economic landscape.
But now, creative voices from across Europe are sounding the alarm that the implementation standard is being brought to a level so low that it would:
❌ Undermine the Act’s goals
❌ Contravene EU law
❌ Ignore the intention of the EU legislator
We are now calling on EU policymakers to uphold the principles of transparency, consent, and protection of creators.
