Statement on Transparency in the AI Act
A fifth round of the trilogue negotiations on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is scheduled for October 24, 2023. In the new statement Creative Commons and COMMUNIA calls on the co-legislators to take a holistic approach on AI transparency and agree on proportionate solutions. As a member of both organisations we support approach to AI transparency presented in the statement.
As discussed in greater detail in our Policy Paper #15, COMMUNIA deems it essential that the flexibilities for text-and-data mining enshrined in Articles 3 and 4 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive are upheld. For this approach to work in practice, we welcome practical initiatives for greater transparency around AI training data to understand whether opt-outs are being respected.
