Shaping Europe's Digital Culture - new reports
The Commission has published two studies to map the challenges and opportunities for cultural and creative sectors (CCS) in the digital decade.
While not all CCS are equally impacted by digital technology, it is important to map challenges and opportunities of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) as they can have an impact across the value chain, from production to distribution and promotion.
Study on Opportunities and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies for the Cultural and Creative Sectors. This study maps concrete examples of organisations using AI across ten creative sectors: Music, Film, Video games and immersive content, News media/journalism, Book Publishing, Architecture, Museums and heritage, Visual arts, Performing arts, Fashion and design. It provides recommendations to counter challenges in five areas, notably access to data, access to skills, transparency, collaborative ecosystems and access to finance,; taking into account the wide diversity of needs across sectors, including small players.
Study on Copyright and New technologies: Copyright Data Management and Artificial Intelligence. This study looks at the impact of new technologies on the CCS from the copyright angle, and is structured in 2 parts. The first looks into the potential use of new technologies to improve the management of data linked to copyright-protected content, and provides ideas to increase interoperability of metadata. The second part looks into the copyright-related challenges raised by the use of AI, including possible emerging legal questions related to the interaction between the copyright legal framework and AI.
