Protection of Copyright Objects in the EU when Creating Artificial Intelligence Models

Abstract

On June 13, 2024, the European Union adopted a law regulating issues related to artificial intelligence. He also touched upon the issues of copyright protection. The difficulties in applying the new law are inevitably related to the problems of implementing the provisions of the existing regulatory framework regarding the regulation of copyright and related rights in the EU single digital market. Data mining for the purpose of artificial intelligence training is often associated with the need to use works and databases. In this case, there is a clash between the interests of the copyright holders of such objects, on the one hand, and the interests of the creators of artificial intelligence models and systems, on the other. EU legislation offers a solution to this problem. At the same time, it is difficult to recognize such a solution as optimal. The article examines the key provisions of this law in relation to the identified issues, as well as analyzes foreign doctrinal sources and draws a conclusion based on the results of the review.
