Copyright and AI

Making space for innovation while recognising the people behind the work.

AI is opening new ways to work with books, articles, photographs and other published content. Clear, responsible approaches can help organisations and rightsholders navigate these emerging uses.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Innovation works best when rights are clear.

AI tools can support research, learning, business and public services. Their development may involve working with large collections of copyrighted material. At the same time, authors, publishers, photographers and other creators need meaningful recognition and a voice in how their work is used.

CopyGhana is exploring collective licensing approaches that could offer a transparent path for these emerging uses and help rightsholders participate in the value created.

FOR ORGANISATIONS & AI DEVELOPERS

Build with confidence and respect for copyright.

Collective approaches may make it easier to navigate permissions across many works and rightsholders.

01

Simpler rights management

Reduce the complexity of handling permissions across multiple publications and rightsholders.

02

Clearer expectations

Work toward transparent terms for appropriate AI related uses of protected works.

03

Room to innovate

Explore training, fine-tuning and retrieval applications within a responsible licensing framework.

FOR RIGHTSHOLDERS

Your work should have a voice in the AI conversation.

Authors, publishers, photographers and other creators contribute knowledge, culture and creativity to the material AI systems may use. CopyGhana can provide a collective channel for rightsholders to take part in discussions about emerging licensing approaches.
