Representing a broad coalition of European and global authors, performers, publishers, producers and other rightsholder organisations, we wish to formally express our dissatisfaction with the published GPAI Code of Practice, the GPAI Guidelines, and the Template for disclosure of a sufficiently detailed summary of training data under Article 53 of the EU AI Act.| EWC - European Writers Council
The Code of Practice missed out on protecting and supporting the future of European markets and the European creative economies. This Code is an industry-over-friendly fig leave, not even a compromise rather than an invitation to a self-service buffet, serving (non-EU) AI companies.| EWC - European Writers Council
The book sector calls for proper funding for authors, book professionals and literature and reading promotion in the next MFF, looking especially at the funding of Creative Europe.| EWC - European Writers Council
EWC is a NGO constituted by currently 53 writers’ and literary translators’ associations & unions in 34 European countries (EU Member States, EEA countries Iceland and Norway & Belarus, Macedonia, Montenegro, Switzerland, UK, representing over 250.000 authors in 37 languages.| EWC - European Writers Council
EWC, CEATL and EFJ state: The simplified and industry-friendly orientation of the Code of Practice means that EU law will be undermined, and the minimum requirements of the AI Act will not be met.| EWC - European Writers Council
