Parliamentary Assembly
Session
2026 - Second part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly recognises the vital role that copyright law plays in supporting creative industries in Europe. These sectors are facing challenges posed by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular the use of copyrighted content without permission during AI training, and current legislation is inadequate to address these challenges. The Resolution calls for clear regulations to protect copyright holders, proposing a balance between innovation and the rights of creators. The report calls for specific actions, including mandatory transparency from AI providers about the data used, fair remuneration for creators, and rules on labelling AI-generated content. Additionally, there is an emphasis on protecting the personality rights of citizens and the work of performing artists from deepfakes, and on promoting media and information literacy as a tool to ensure public understanding of AI.
