DGA Endorses Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act
Story Highlights
This proposed legislation aims to promote responsible innovation in artificial intelligence by safeguarding the intellectual property (IP) rights of creators whose works are used to train AI systems.
The Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act was introduced by Representative Adam Schiff on April 9, 2024.
The DGA believes protecting the contributions of its members and all artists is crucial as generative AI capabilities rapidly advance.
“The Directors Guild of America commends this commonsense legislation, which is an important first step toward enabling filmmakers to protect their intellectual property from the potential harms caused by generative AI. We thank Representative Schiff for championing these rights that will protect filmmakers and the entire creative community.” – DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter.
