MPs Mirell Høyer-Berntsen and Ingrid Fiskaa have introduced a proposal to strengthen copyright protection as artificial intelligence develops. The proposers argue that AI models are currently trained on vast amounts of copyrighted material without consent from rights holders, and that this practice undermines copyright's purpose and weakens the culture and media sectors. They are calling on the government to introduce legislative changes and establish new mechanisms that ensure rights holders retain control and receive compensation.
