The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) delves into the effects of artificial intelligence on Europe’s creative industries, focusing on the challenges faced by artists, writers, musicians, and other cultural professionals. The report emphasizes that while AI offers opportunities for innovation, it also poses significant risks to creative autonomy and intellectual property.

Key concerns include the use of AI in generating art, music, and literature, potentially undermining the value of human creativity. Copyright issues are at the forefront, with creators calling for stronger protections against unauthorized use of their works in training AI models. The article also highlights the role of European Union regulations, such as the AI Act, in setting standards for ethical AI usage.

Creative communities are urging policymakers to strike a balance between fostering technological growth and safeguarding artistic expression. Public debates are intensifying over how to ensure fair compensation for creators while promoting innovation. The IFJ stresses that the future of Europe’s cultural identity depends on addressing these issues proactively.
