Parliamentary Assembly
Session
2026 - Second part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly recognises the vital role that copyright plays in supporting the creative industries in Europe. These sectors face challenges posed by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular the unauthorised use of copyright-protected content when training AI models, and current legislation is insufficient to address these challenges. The resolution calls for the adoption of clear regulations to protect copyright holders, striking a balance between innovation and creators’ rights. The report recommends specific measures, including a transparency obligation on AI providers regarding the data used, fair remuneration for creators, and rules on the labelling of AI-generated content. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on protecting citizens’ personality rights and the works of performing artists against deepfakes, as well as on promoting media and information literacy as a means of ensuring public understanding of AI.
