Generative AI regulation in the arts

Overview

Efforts to regulate generative artificial intelligence within the creative and artistic sectors have emerged at both organizational and national levels.

In the United Kingdom, Shetland Arts implemented a policy requiring that all AI-generated outputs undergo staff review and approval before publication. Chief Executive Graeme Howell noted the policy aims to ensure human oversight, transparency, and respect for copyright, maintaining the human artist as the “primary creative agent.”

In Spain, the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy and the Ministry of Culture proposed a draft organic law to protect the labor, image, and employment rights of artists. The proposal includes requirements for explicit consent and compensation regarding the use of digital replicas. It also mandates that AI-generated content remain “significantly faithful” to original performances and seeks to incorporate these technologies into collective bargaining frameworks.
