Contributions
In May 2025, the UN Humans Rights Office of the High Commissioner opened a call for contributions on AI and creativity, exploring the issues AI is bringing to human creativity and originality.
The SAA responded to selected questions from a European perspective, highlighting – among other things – that (i) there needs to be a distinction between AI generated products and AI assisted works, (ii) it is not acceptable to considered AI generated products as originals, and (iii) the current framework that is being built especially following the AI Act is weakening audiovisual authors’ protection, sympathising with AI companies under the guise of competitiveness aims.
