"Without the support of the European MEDIA programme we would never have been able to survive and we will never stop thanking them for that." - José Antonio de Luna, COO & co-founder, @Filmin 💬 @MEDIAprogEU Read the #interview here:

MEPs will provide their input on the #GPAI code of practice on Dec. 11. The chairs spearheading the drafting process will be invited to attend just as they are about to finalize a second draft. A meeting with Henna Virkkunen was postponed until January. https://t.co/YaVeVDAv6N

Spain opened a new front for rights holders in #AI model training with a draft royal decree that would introduce an extended collective licensing regime. The regime might set an influential precedent for EU countries interested in building national LLMs. https://t.co/ytgDwg5ayv

2nd interesting question by @EPCulture vice-chair @EmmaRafowicz : how to improve EU rules to better protect creators facing #AI? @HennaVirkkunen emphasised that there should be no use of works without compensation but was not clear on the need for new legislation.

Vice President designate for Tech, @HennaVirkkunen promise the 🇪🇺@Europarl_EN that she will work for creators to be fairly remunerated. 🗣️"We have to take good care of our creators." 🗣️"Nobody should make business of others work without remuneration." #WeLoveAuthors 🎬

After 3h10 of hearing (of 3h30), first question on #AI & #copyright asked by JURI chair to ⁦@HennaVirkkunen⁩, Commissioner-designate for Tech Sovereignty over her future plans. Glad to hear she cares about creators and their fair compensation when their works are used.

Major topics largely missing from Virkkunen's hearing. The #AIAct as AI is merely mentioned with a focus on innovation. The #DMA as the #DSA has stolen the show. Sovereignty requirements in #EUCS, since most discussions on cloud are focused on developing infrastructure. 6/n

One hour into Henna Virkkunen's parliamentary hearing, she has hardly said anything new from her written replies. She consistently mentions slashing red tape, fostering investments, addressing critical dependencies, and some regulatory priorities (i.e. minors & e-commerce). 1/n

I am attending the 🇪🇺confirmation hearing of Commissioner-designate @GlennMicallef responsible for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport by @Europarl_EN. A good start for the youngest Commissioner-designate who emphasised his action for young people and artists.
