CC community statement on “Making AI work for Creators and the Commons”

Ahead of this year’s Creative Commons Summit in Mexico City, Open Future and Creative Commons hosted a one-day workshop to discuss the impact of generative AI on creators and the commons. The workshop explored how legal and regulatory contexts differ around the world and how this affects the development of shared strategies for dealing with the impact of generative AI on the commons and the position of creators.

Based on this discussion, and in subsequent conversations over the three days of the summit, the group identified a set of seven principles that could guide further work on creating an equitable framework for the regulation of generative AI around the world. These principles were published as part of a statement on “Making AI work for Creators and the Commons” which was published on the Creative Commons blog on the final day of the Summit.
