The November report begins with the joint letter released by more than 24 organizations of creators and rights holders toward a meaningful implementation of the European Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act. The report also highlights a new study from the European Audiovisual Observatory that provides a comprehensive overview of the growing role of AI in the audiovisual industry and its many complex legal implications. In addition, the report focuses on the new licensing model for AI developers introduced by the German performing rights collection society and licensing body (GEMA), as well as on an AI Charter released by GEMA setting out ten “ethical and legal principles” that GEMA wants the AI sector – and law-makers regulating that sector – to adhere to. Besides, the report emphasizes that the Australian federal government has quietly delayed plans to introduce local content requirements for major streaming platforms, with no indication of when it might return to work on the policy. Finally, the report emphasizes the export of French and Spanish audiovisual content abroad, as well as new partnerships and business plans in the platform-based economy, focusing on Samsung, TF1+, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount+, and Netflix.
