Suisseculture sees a need for action on AI
The Federal Parliament is currently debating a motion for better protection of intellectual property against AI misuse. Suisseculture describes one of several possible solutions.
The Gössi motion (24.4596) is entitled "Better protection of intellectual property against AI misuse". Suisseculture supports the motion in the "well-founded view that licenses and remuneration will create an advantageous market order and that several copyright models will be available for this purpose". According to the umbrella organization of cultural associations, the concerns of science and business could be taken into account in the licensing and remuneration models. It describes one of several possible solutions.
The large language models, image, music and video generators and similar systems of generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT or Perplexity have circumvented copyright law and the principle of consent, Suisseculture continued. In addition, these models generated similar and new content based on large amounts of copyrighted data, which jeopardized economic investments and artistic interests.
To date, there has been a lack of legal certainty and transparency regarding this use of data. Swiss policymakers are faced with the task of finding solutions that reconcile the protection of creative works and achievements with innovation, the economy, academic freedom and access to cultural assets.
