Contributions publiques de la CISAC sur le droit d'auteur et l'IA

Cette page présente un aperçu des contributions de la CISAC aux consultations publiques internationales et aux débats politiques sur le droit d'auteur et l'intelligence artificielle. La CISAC plaide en faveur d'une protection solide du droit d'auteur, d'obligations de transparence pour les développeurs d'IA, de pratiques d'octroi de licences équitables et de politiques qui protègent les créateurs dans l'environnement numérique.

CISAC contributed to three major consultations relating to AI regulation and copyright:

2023

The US Copyright Office launched a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) on issues relating to Copyright and Generative AI in 2023. CISAC provided two submissions which examined the application of the fair use exception to AI training, the implications of extending copyright protection to generative AI outputs, and the longstanding role of collective management organisations to facilitate collective licensing in the face of technological change. The US Copyright Office cited CISAC’s submission in its third Report on Generative AI Training [Pre-Publication].

CISAC, together with a coalition of authors, performers, and other rightsholders, opposed the third draft GPAI Code of Practice. The coalition argued that the Code fails to ensure compliance with EU copyright law and the AI Act, particularly regarding transparency, dataset disclosures, and lawful training practices. Currently, rightsholder organisations continue their concerns over the implementation of the EU AI Act to ensure that creators are provided with the transparency and tools they need to properly enforce their rights.

2024

CISAC advised the Hong Kong government against the adoption of a broad Text and Data Mining exception. CISAC recommended that, if implemented, such an exception must be limited to non-commercial uses, and must establish authorisation and adequate compensation mechanisms for creators.

2025

CISAC submitted recommendations on AI policy ahead of India’s Stakeholder Consultation on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence on 20th June 2025 in Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi, arguing that the involvement of multiple exclusive rights within the AI ecosystem is clear. CISAC also stated that core copyright principles — including originality and authorship — must not be altered or weakened in response to AI technologies.

2026

CISAC submitted comments to the Indian Government on the DPIIT’s Working Paper on Generative AI and Copyright, responding to proposals for a statutory remuneration right for the use of protected works in AI training. While reaffirming voluntary licensing supported by collective management as the preferred approach, CISAC set out key considerations should a statutory model be adopted, including respect for the specificities of different creative repertoires, clear definitions of lawful access, a central role for collective management organisations, strong transparency obligations, and the rejection of rewards-based compensation tied to commercial success, which could undermine cultural diversity.

2024

CISAC encouraged the UK Government to adopt fair licensing practices and ensure safeguards against unauthorised uses of creative works throughout the AI value chain, and against the expansion of its TDM exception to commercial uses. CISAC also supported strong transparency obligations for developers.
