A global study by CISAC warns that generative artificial intelligence threatens to significantly reduce copyright revenues for human creators in the music and audiovisual sectors over the next five years. The research concludes that technology companies will benefit economically by using protected works without adequate remuneration, resulting in an unfair transfer of value toward the AI market and jeopardizing the financial sustainability of authors, composers, and producers. This dynamic suggests that, unless appropriate regulatory frameworks are implemented, the substitution of human-created content with AI-generated content will lead to a substantial decline in the traditional income of creative professionals. The report highlights that, although the technology offers new opportunities, its current development prioritizes corporate monetization over creators’ rights, leaving the latter exposed to considerable cumulative losses due to the unauthorized use of their material as “fuel” for training models. The relevance to open data lies in the urgency of regulating transparency in the datasets used to train artificial intelligence. The study underscores the need for policies that ensure consent and fair compensation for the use of creative works, implying that access to and management of copyright must be integrated into open data through ethical standards. This aims to ensure that human culture and creativity are not excluded from the technological ecosystem, promoting an environment where technological innovation coexists with the legal and economic protection of creators.
