De Europese, creatieve industrie heeft een open brief gestuurd aan de Europese Commisie om hun creatieve sector te beschermen:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n April 25, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n Dear Executive Vice-President Virkkunen,<\/em> Europe is much more than a geographic area. It is a cultural promise \u2013 a promise of freedom, diversity, innovation and co-operation. This promise has inspired artists, creatives and visionaries for generations.<\/em> We, the voices of the European creative industries \u2013 authors, musicians, actors, filmmakers, photographers, illustrators, composers, designers, architects, journalists, translators, artists, producers, publishers and representatives of the media and cultural industries \u2013 are sounding the alarm.<\/em><\/p>\n Our rights as creators and rights holders are being systematically eroded under the guise of \u2018promoting innovation\u2019. Billions of creative works are being used as the basis for AI systems without our knowledge, without our consent and without remuneration. The EU Commission has done too little to protect us from this.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Artificial intelligence relies on our creative content to function at all. Without it, AI is blind, empty and speechless. At present, it is exclusively the developers of the models who benefit, while creators and rights holders are being expropriated.<\/em><\/p>\n AI can be a driver of progress \u2013 but only if it is built on solid legal and ethical foundations.<\/em><\/p>\n If Europe loses its creatives, it will not only lose its cultural identity but also one of its strongest economic sectors. To sacrifice this potential means to jeopardise Europe\u2019s future.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Protect Europe\u2019s creative soul, protect European values and works. Act now to ensure a fair, transparent and legally compliant development of artificial intelligence. Europe cannot stand idly by while its cultural foundations are devalued.<\/em><\/p>\n With emphasis and great concern, but also with hope for strong and fair regulation<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n ...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":707042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[338],"tags":[8561,8571,8576,8579,8568,8575,8565,4415,8563,8572,8566,8574,8564,8577,8570,8559,8573,8580,8562,8560,8569,8567,8578],"class_list":["post-707041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nieuws-tool-ai-business-marketing-ai-modellen","tag-2025-dear-executive-vice-president-virkkunen","tag-actors","tag-architects","tag-artists","tag-but-by-a-technological-development-that-degrades-our-creative-work-to-a-mere-resource-generative-artificial-intelligence-we","tag-composers","tag-creatives-and-visionaries-for-generations-today","tag-designers","tag-diversity","tag-filmmakers","tag-however","tag-illustrators","tag-innovation-and-co-operation-this-promise-has-inspired-artists","tag-journalists","tag-musicians","tag-open-letter-to-executive-vice-president-of-the-european-commission-for-tech-sovereignty","tag-photographers","tag-producers","tag-protect-europes-creative-soul-europe-is-much-more-than-a-geographic-area-it-is-a-cultural-promise-a-promise-of-freedom","tag-security-and-democracy-april-25","tag-the-voices-of-the-european-creative-industries-authors","tag-this-heritage-is-threatened-not-only-by-political-division","tag-translators"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-content\/uploadsnieuwssocial\/2025\/05\/img_6818e730deafd.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nieuws.marketing\/strategie_nieuws\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\nOpen letter
