At the Lumière Summit in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, co-organized by French President Emmanuel Macron and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, leaders addressed the challenges facing global creative industries. Macron initially called for a ‘new multilateralism’ to protect film, television, and gaming, warning that the digital ‘endless scroll’ and the attention economy risk undermining deep creativity.

The summit concluded with the adoption of the Lumière Declaration, a document signed by representatives from over 55 countries. The declaration establishes 15 principles aimed at protecting human creativity from the impacts of artificial intelligence, asserting that AI should enhance rather than replace human creators. The principles also cover the preservation of audiovisual archives, piracy, and international co-production. Additionally, the summit proposed a UNESCO-partnered educational initiative for image literacy.
