Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Underlines that artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies, which always involve a certain level of human intervention, are a tool to serve the people and that algorithmic systems can enable access to information, including listings of different kinds of cultural objects; notes the risks of intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement when blending AI and different technologies with a multiplicity of sources (documents, photos, films); notes that non-personal data, such as text documents, photos and films, used for training “artificial intelligence” systems making use of machine learning techniques may be subject to intellectual property rights (IPR) ; considers that in order to unlock the potential of AI technologies, removing unnecessary legal barriers to their development and to their use is necessary;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that AI-improved image recognition software and related technologies could vastly enhance the ability of educational facilities and relevant actors to provide and develop modern and innovative schooling methods while ensuring quality sources and respecting the protection of IPRs, and enable education to be more accessible; highlights the increasing dependence on few market dominating technology companies to private education through digital services; recalls that technologies used by public education providers or procured with public money should be developed as open source software to enable the sharing and reuse of resources, making them available throughout the EU and thus increasing the benefit and reducing public spending;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Recalls that in the Continental European understanding of authorship, the concept of 'intellectual creation' is tied to the author's personality, meant to apply to natural persons, and therefore artificial agents such as robots and artificial intelligence shall not be considered as authors, and information produced by them shall not be eligible to copyright protection; considers that the authors’ fragile position and often low remuneration should not be further accentuated by new categories of copyrightable works generated by Artificial Intelligence technologies which would compete with human artistic creation; rejects the concept of data ownership and stresses the need for enhancing access to and use of non- personal data;

4. Emphasises that the interaction between AIe role of an author’s personality for the expression of free and the creative industries is complex and requires an in-depth assessmentchoices that constitute the originality of works1a; welcomes the ongoing study ‘Trends and Developments in Artificial Intelligence - Challenges to the IPR Framework’ and the ‘Study on Copyright and New technologies: copyright data management and Artificial Intelligence’; underlines the importance of clarifying the use of copyright-protected content as data input (images, music, films, databases etc.) and in the production of cultural and audiovisual outputs; limitations and exceptions to copyright when using content as data input, notably in education, academia and research, and in the production of cultural and audiovisual outputs, including user- generated content; highlights the unreliability of automated means of removing illegal content from online platforms on which audiovisual content is shared; reiterates the importance to uphold the prohibition of general monitoring obligations under Article 15 of Directive 2000/31/EC; _________________ 1a CJEU Brompton Bicycle, C-833/18

Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Stresses that in the data economy context, better copyright data management is achievable, for the purpose of better remunerating authors and performers, notably in enabling the swift identification of the authorship and right ownership of content, thus contributing to lowering the number of orphan works; further highlights that AI technological solutions should be used to improve copyright data infrastructure and the interconnection of metadata in works, but also to facilitate the transparency obligation provided in Article 19 of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market for up to date, relevant and comprehensive information on the exploitation of authors’ and performers’ works and performances, particularly in the presence of a plurality of rightholders and of complex licensing schemes;

4 b. Stresses the need to work on the most efficient way of reducing bias in AI systems, in line with ethical and non- discrimination standards; underlines that data sets used to train AI should be as broad as possible in order to represent society in the best relevant way, that the outputs should be reviewed to avoid all forms of stereotypes, discrimination and biases and when appropriate, make use of AI to identify and correct human biases when that might exist; calls on the Commission to encourage and facilitate the sharing of de-biasing strategies for data;
