Faced with AI, the need for a transparent and protective framework
Questions of transparency and protection are questions already raised by the ADAGP which, since the rise of these technologies, publishes studies and news, organizes workshops to train artists on this theme and supports public authorities through working groups on copyright issues.
Last February, the ADAGP notably put online the guide “How to opt-out for your works” which details the technical possibilities available to artists in order to best protect their creations by opposing the search of AI data on the internet.
Initiatives which must, according to the ADAGP, be accompanied by transparency and clear supervision of AI, thanks to an adaptation of the legislative framework by the public authorities, in France and at the European level.
