Findings from the Hungarian Council presidency’s questionnaire on copyright and AI
As a parting gift, in December the Hungarian Council presidency published its summary of Member States’ contributions to the policy questionnaire on the relationship between generative Artificial Intelligence and copyright and related rights.
The questionnaire, which was presented at the Copyright Working Party meeting of 3 July 2024 gave Member States the opportunity to provide their input on a number of issues relating to Artificial Intelligence and copyright as well as share national experiences. By publishing the summary of the findings, the Hungarian Council presidency is providing insights into the thoughts and priorities of Member States and giving an indication of the Council’s priorities in the next couple of years.
Generally speaking, there is a noticeable amount of consensus across Member States on some of the fundamental questions relating to AI and copyright in the EU.
Most importantly, the Member States agree that the current EU framework is overall sufficient to regulate the technology. While demands were raised to clarify the existing acquis and to provide more clarity on some aspects of the ruleset, the responses to the questionnaire make it clear that there is no interest in new legislation.
