  • Ban generative AI from creative and cultural spaces.

    The only strategy or policy we want to see is one that bans GenAI from creative and cultural spaces, where it has absolutely no place

  • Require transparency regarding training datasets and enforce an opt-in consent model for creative works.

    ensures that all GenAI companies are transparent about how and with what datasets they are training their models and comply with an opt-in consent for all creative productions

  • Protect the rights of European citizens and creators against the threats posed by generative AI.

    protects European citizens and creators rights in an increasingly hostile context.

  • Prohibit the use of generative AI in creative endeavors, permitting it only in assistive or technical capacities.

    In conclusion, obviously there are many great uses for AI but it absolutely does not belong in the creative space (except as a technical or assistive tool). So I am fundamentally, on every single level you can imagine, opposed to engaging AI as a creator in any kind of artistic endeavour.

  • Refrain from using AI-generated designs for European currency.

    I dearly hope the European Union would not use AI slop for our currency designs at the expense of my fellow European creatives.

• Micro company, FRA NGO, FRA model reads as: supports source
  • The strategy should provide a practical framework supporting experimentation and AI deployment across organisations of all sizes.

    To realise these benefits, the strategy should provide a clear, balanced and practical framework for responsible AI adoption.

  • The strategy should focus on fair value creation, diversity, inclusion, and capacity building.

    We suggest focusing on the following priorities: - Innovation and adoption: Support experimentation and AI deployment across organisations of all sizes, including SMEs, independent creators, and cultural institutions. - Fair value creation: Encourage practical approaches to intellectual property and data management. - Diversity and inclusion: Support European content, minority and regional languages, cultural heritage, accessibility and improved discoverability. - Skills and capacity building: Invest in AI literacy, professional training, shared infrastructure, knowledge exchange and sector-specific guidance.

  • The strategy must be backed by clear priorities, appropriate funding, and measurable impact indicators.

    The strategy should therefore be supported by clear priorities, appropriate funding, practical guidance and measurable indicators covering adoption, inclusion, innovation and economic impact.

• Micro company, NLD Company, NLD model reads as: wants changes source
  • Europe should impose legal duties concerning truthfulness, traceability, data security, and affirmative, granular consent across the AI value chain.

    Europe needs legal duties concerning truthfulness, traceability, independent testing, incident reporting, data security and accountability across the AI value chain.

  • The EU should establish sector-specific European AI innovation labs and distinguish serious human-directed creative AI from bulk automated generation.

    I propose sector-specific European AI innovation labs for film, museums, heritage, music, visual arts, performance, archives and education.

  • A worldwide programme should be created to develop digital twins for every museum to preserve cultural heritage.

    Finally, every museum should ultimately have a digital twin.

• Micro company, GBR Company, GBR model reads as: wants changes source
  • The Commission should recognise rights-aware cultural discovery AI as a distinct investment category alongside generative AI.

    1. Recognise rights-aware cultural discovery AI as a distinct area for investment alongside generative AI.

  • Make provenance and attribution core design principles when AI surfaces cultural objects.

    3. Make provenance and attribution core design principles.Where AI recommends an existing cultural object, users should be able to see where it came from, who created or holds it, the applicable rights information, and why it was recommended.

  • The Commission should launch a European Cultural Discovery Pilot connecting cultural institutions with rights-aware AI discovery tools.

    I would encourage the Commission to consider a "European Cultural Discovery Pilot" linking a representative group of museums, archives, libraries and other collections with rights-aware AI discovery tools.

  • Pillar 3 should fund curatorial and interpretive capacity alongside technical upskilling.

    Within Pillar 3, equipping the sector for its AI transition, I would ask the Commission to fund curatorial and interpretive capacity with the same seriousness it funds technical upskilling.

  • Establish provenance and afterlife-tracking standards, curator-in-residence schemes, and structured expert-led qualitative monitoring.

    Three concrete measures follow from this. First, provenance and afterlife-tracking standards for AI-touched cultural objects, adapting methods art history already uses for tracing born-digital and AI-generated material. Second, curator-in-residence schemes attached to AI research partnerships and to the common data space itself, so that critical judgment operates at the point where training data and models are built, not only afterward on finished outputs. Third, monitoring mechanisms that pair the quantitative tools listed under Future Monitoring, Eurostat, the AI Observatory, with structured, expert-led qualitative review, since neither will register a shift in cultural meaning the way trained interpretive judgment does.

  • Licensing and partnership frameworks must be built with non-European collections from the design stage to avoid reproducing homogenisation.

    It will still under-represent the range of cultural production this strategy claims to protect, unless licensing and partnership frameworks are built with non-European collections and institutions from the design stage, rather than added afterward through external cultural diplomacy.

• Nord University Academic or research institution, NOR model reads as: wants changes source
  • Pillar 3 should encompass critical cultural AI literacy and aesthetic judgement developed with arts and cultural education actors.

    We therefore recommend that Pillar 3 explicitly encompass critical cultural AI literacy, and within this aesthetic judgement and creative agency, developed in cooperation with arts and cultural education actors and reflected in the announced youth check.

  • The Commission should systematically draw on Horizon Europe Cluster 2 research and include education stakeholders in policy dialogues.

    We encourage the Commission to draw systematically on Horizon Europe Cluster 2 research on cultural literacy, arts education and cultural heritage, and to include education and research stakeholders in the announced workshops, targeted survey and high-level policy dialogue.

  • Explicitly recognise sign languages and accessibility tools as integral parts of the cultural and creative sectors.

    Our core request is that the strategy explicitly recognise sign languages and the accessibility of cultural and audiovisual content captioning, interpreting, sign language technology as integral parts of the cultural and creative sectors, not as a peripheral accessibility add-on addressed elsewhere.

  • Distinguish between live captioning and pre-recorded content where human post-editing must remain non-negotiable, while requiring consent for biometric training data.

    We ask the strategy to distinguish clearly between live captioning (where higher latency and minor errors are acceptable, subject to real-time quality monitoring) and pre-recorded content (where human post-editing must remain non-negotiable).

  • Prohibit price from being the sole award criterion in public procurement and mandate human-in-the-loop oversight.

    We ask that public procurement and funding criteria for AI-driven accessibility tools explicitly prohibit price from being the sole award criterion, and that they require human-in-the-loop oversight, with a guaranteed route to a human expert at no extra cost to the user, for any AI system used in cultural institutions, broadcasting or public communication with Deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

• Micro company, ITA Academic or research institution, ITA model reads as: wants changes source
  • Adopt the principle of fair and responsible AI-mediated discoverability across cultural heritage.

    AITE proposes that the Strategy adopt the principle of fair and responsible AI-mediated discoverability.

  • Explicitly include foodways and living, intangible, place-based heritage within the strategy scope.

    The Strategy should: (1) explicitly include foodways and living, intangible, place-based heritage;

  • Connect cultural heritage and tourism data spaces while auditing effective diversity, concentration, and bias in cultural AI systems.

    (3) connect the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Data Spaces rather than create a new silo; (4) audit effective diversity, concentration and bias in EU-supported cultural AI systems;

• Micro company, SVN Company, SVN model reads as: supports source
  • Fund open speech and language models for small EU languages as public cultural infrastructure with commercial-friendly open licenses.

    Open speech and language models for small EU languages should be funded as public cultural infrastructure, with open weights and licences that also allow commercial use.

  • Build on existing member-state resources and AI Factories to finance high-quality studio and dialect speech data collection.

    The strategy should build on existing member-state resources and the AI Factories, and fund the missing link: high-quality studio and dialect speech data with legally clean consent.

  • Require cultural AI projects funded by the EU to comply with the European Accessibility Act and involve users with disabilities.

    Accessibility should be a criterion: cultural AI projects funded from EU sources should meet the European Accessibility Act requirements, and users with disabilities should be included in evaluation.

• Liceul TehnologicToma Socolescu Ploiești Other, ROU model reads as: supports source
  • Ensure AI systems protect cultural nuance, cite sources, and avoid homogenization.

    Any future strategy should ensure that AI systems are trained, evaluated, and deployed in ways that protect cultural nuance, not reduce it to generic outputs.

  • Guarantee affordable access to AI tools, educator training, transparent licensing, and clear copyright rules.

    A European strategy should guarantee: affordable access to AI tools, training for educators and cultural workers, transparent licensing models, clear rules on copyright and fair remuneration.

  • Provide clear ethical guidelines, curricular frameworks, and AI literacy training for educators.

    A European strategy should provide: clear ethical guidelines, curricular frameworks, examples of responsible classroom use, training for teachers on AI literacy and cultural sensitivity.

  • Exclude generative AI from creative fields due to widespread copyright infringement and labor displacement.

    As an artist, I say generative AI has no place in creative fields.

• Micro company, ITA Academic or research institution, ITA model reads as: supports source
  • Fund a shared EU methodological initiative to establish reliable statistical indicators for AI uptake beyond NACE codes.

    Any AI-uptake indicator built only on NACE codes will inherit this instability, and comparisons across Member States will not hold - which argues for funding a shared EU methodological effort now.

  • Incorporate health and wellbeing impacts alongside cultural accessibility indicators within the strategy.

    Health and wellbeing deserve an explicit place in this strategy, not just a mention under "accessibility".

  • Embed cultural and AI indicators directly into broader competitiveness, employment, and cohesion instruments.

    A genuine "whole-of-Commission approach" needs cultural and AI indicators embedded within competitiveness, employment and cohesion instruments themselves, not monitored in a parallel, culture-only track.

• KIKK Other, BEL model reads as: supports source
  • Fund artistic experimentation with AI alongside protective regulation.

    The strategy must fund artistic experimentation (residencies, production, touring) on a par with its protective dimension, notably by consolidating and scaling up the S+T+ARTS initiative.

  • Enforce training corpora transparency, workable opt-out mechanisms, and collective licensing frameworks.

    Effective respect for copyright requires transparency of training corpora, genuinely workable opt-out mechanisms, and licensing frameworks suited to creators and rightholders who lack the critical mass to negotiate alone with model developers.

  • Incorporate cultural venues into the strategy and funding instruments as key AI literacy infrastructure.

    This mediation role must be explicitly embedded in the strategy and in its funding instruments (Creative Europe, Digital Europe).

  • Encourage EU-level coordination and help Member States remove non-copyright barriers to the access and reuse of cultural heritage data.

    The Strategy should encourage more coordination at the EU level and help Member States remove unnecessary barriers, especially when heritage or administrative rules limit access and reuse for reasons that are not related to copyright.

  • Define explicit rules and reciprocity requirements for commercial reuse of European cultural heritage data.

    The Strategy should define the conditions for this kind of use and what public return, openness, and reciprocity are required.

  • Establish a dedicated European AI capacity for cultural heritage linking data spaces and cloud infrastructure with EuroHPC and AI Factories.

    The Strategy should create a dedicated, long-term, and federated European AI capacity for CH by linking the common European data space for CH and the European Collaborative Cloud for CH (ECCCH) with EuroHPC and its AI Factories.

  • The AI Strategy should recognize cultural and creative actors as active contributors to the research, development, and governance of AI.

    The projects therefore call for the AI Strategy to move beyond a narrow logic of technology adoption and to recognise cultural and creative actors as contributors to the development, experimentation and governance of AI.

  • The strategy must provide sustained investment in creative R&D ecosystems, shared infrastructure, and cross-sector collaboration.

    The projects consequently argue that the AI Strategy must be supported by sustained investment in creative R&D ecosystems, shared infrastructures and collaborations among artists, researchers, cultural institutions and technology developers.

  • The EU should provide structural funding for cultural and creative industries and artistic research via the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework.

    PACESETTERS and S+T+ARTS EC(H)O therefore call for structural support to CCIs and artistic research through the European Competitiveness Fund, the successor to Horizon Europe, Creative Europe and Cohesion Policy, including dedicated support for ArtScienceTechnology collaboration and bridging instruments linking research, cultural production, regional development and societal uptake.

    Don't give to AI, help art, artists and what they do most about it: humanism, reflection, sharing, dream, critical thinking, comfort, struggle, humour... emotion, human spirit in everything that is more complex. But you will only achieve this by putting in place things that better protect artists from a social, economic and legal point of view.

  • The European Commission should prevent AI development from undermining and appropriating the economic foundations of human creation.

    It is whether the European Union will ensure that the development of AI does not appropriate, devalue and ultimately undermine the economic foundations of professional human creation.

  • AI providers should not be allowed to commercially exploit original publications without permission and remuneration.

    If AI providers can commercially exploit my work to build systems which subsequently reproduce, summarise, synthesise or substitute for the original publications without obtaining meaningful permission and paying meaningful remuneration, the result is not an AI transition for the creative economy.

  • Revisit the EUR 60 000 threshold for financial-capacity verification exemption to support grassroots organisations and first-time applicants.

    The Commission will revisit, in the next work programme and in the call conditions adopted under it, the EUR 60 000 threshold below which applicants are exempt from financial-capacity verification, with a view to raising it so that the exemption again reaches a meaningful share of grants, and will make operational and measurable, in the actions delivering this Strategy, the commitment already given in the AgoraEU proposal to address the obstacles encountered by grassroots organisations and first-time applicants.

  • Publish guidance on the single information platform detailing when deployers of AI systems become providers under Article 25(1) of the AI Act.

    The Commission will publish, on the single information platform referred to in Article 62(3), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, guidance addressed to cultural and creative operators on the circumstances in which a deployer of an AI system becomes a provider under Article 25(1) of that Regulation.

    Until regulations are put in place to ensure proper copyright, consent AND compensation for creatives whose works are consumed and used by these models, I believe it has no place being 'unleashed' upon the general public.

  • Focus the strategy on supporting human creatives and cultural institutions rather than encouraging AI adoption.

    The goal should not be to help more people adopt AI to promote EU culture, but to focus on a robust plan to support the Union's human creatives and cultural institution during a time where business interests are bent on plagiarizing and drowning out their work.

  • Generative AI must be heavily regulated due to its societal and educational harms.

    The shocking lack of understanding of the general population towards how generative AI functions is already proving detrimental in the education sector and in influencing public opinion and will have severe consequences if not regulated heavily.

  • Authorities should halt unvetted AI data centre expansion and unauthorised scraping of copyrighted works.

    Allowing Tech Companies to keep scraping, bypassing copyright, violating our nature and water reserves for financial gain at no compensation of the resources used is, also, an act of political violence.

  • The EU should make AI economically less attractive through taxation on data centre emissions or AI models.

    It would therefore be interesting to make AI economically less attractive - for example by taxing CO2 generated by data centres or a tax applied to AI models and then invested in promoting culture and the arts - in order to make human-made content more attractive and make AI content obsolete again.

  • Regulations must mandate indelible watermarks on AI content, establish accessible detection tools, and penalise labelling AI output as human-made.

    Mandatory watermarks embedded in AI-generated content indelibly by AI, and a tool accessible to everyone to read it safely and reliably, are an absolute must, as well as criminalising the output of AI as human-made content and the lack of labelling for fraud.

  • The European Commission should support transparent and scalable attribution mechanisms to ensure revenues flow back to creators.

    The European Commission should therefore consider supporting the development and adoption of transparent, scalable attribution mechanisms such as CWA.

  • Mechanisms should be established to allow creators and rights holders to receive a fair share of AI-generated value.

    A sustainable European AI ecosystem therefore requires mechanisms through which a fair share of the economic value generated by AI can flow back to the creators and rights holders whose works contributed to the training and development of these systems.
