Catherine Magnant’s Post

And it is a wrap ! The 2024 G7 déclaration on culture is now adopted. Its title says it all : ‘culture, common, good of humanity, common responsibility ‘. There were several important moments during the ministerial exchanges. First we heard the new Ukrainian minister for culture make a passionate plea for his country and the preservation of its identity ; ‘we are with you’ was the answer, with all leaders reaffirming their full commitment to supporting Ukraine as long as it takes. Then the leaders reaffirmed the importance of protecting and promoting cultural identities - in all their diversity and plurality. The challenges posed by artificial intelligence for the creative industries and for culture were also a topic of exchanges. The EU can be proud to have an adopted the first ever AI act. Yet as we know, le diable est dans les détails and what matters now is implementation - still so much is to be put in place . Quite a few countries of the G7 have interesting practices that were inspiring and good to discuss. Even if copyright related matters remain a sensitive issue. And if technological progress goes at a pace that no political or legislative work will ever be able to match. The culture leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural property, which does so much harm and where international cooperation is key . The G7 represents about 70% of the legitimate art market and this forum is essential to enhance cooperation. To be continued.

Including the public in cultural decision making and moving away from competition-based funding models are among a series of recommendations featured in research on the future of cultural devolution

Brazil and its players in the creative industry refuse to simply wait for what happens in Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world. Although global solutions and alternative regulations are subject to careful and vigilant observation, we need to find solutions that also address our uniqueness and demands as a collective in a sector that represents about 4% of the national GDP and has a tremendous capacity for job creation. We need to listen to those who move and create all this intellectual property that circulates and fuels artificial intelligence platforms. Without the intention of exhausting the ongoing dialogue, slowing down development, or denying an imminent future that will bring unprecedented capabilities for everyone. The waiting mode is not enough for a powerful creative force like the Brazilian one.

“It's a three stage process: First, platforms are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.” Great article about big tech by an author ✍️ I admire speaking in Europe at an event dedicated to my fav media guru - Marshal McLuhan #ethics #technology #media

https://lnkd.in/e_WSpwJe Ten groups of samples of English neologisms have been collected in this outline, each group representing the decade of their origin. The outline enables to follow the chronology and sources of the new words starting from the 1930's. We can see how the linguistic picture of the world gradually includes the new lexical units reflecting new notions and realities. There are many interesting linguistic facts in the outline! Thus, the word "multiculturalism" found its way into EL as far back as 1935, marking the beginning of ideological changes in society. "Video" (from Latin "I see", syntactically parallel to already existing "audio", "radio") signalled the arrival of new technologies, also in the thirties. "Bikini", "blockbuster", "nuclear", "staycation" reflected the period of the 2WW and postwar realities. The term "Artificial Intelligence", based on a transfer of lexical meaning from human domain to the world of machines, was first recorded as a neologism in 1955! The current decade has also coined a number of neologisms. In a word, this is a very interesting read!

"Companies that are mindful of cultural appropriation can build trust with diverse communities and create products or campaigns that are both successful and ethical. By tackling these issues, we ensure that cultural representation is done with care, respect, and consideration." Very interesting 3 minute read.

These are the key insights of my own contributions during #gesda summit 2024 on rethinking Intellectuals properties IP : 👉Patents as the 1st aspect is grewing fast with the industrial applications mainly in biology. The monopoly of Healthcare is to ban. The world is small. Turism health is inspiring various public health. 👉The evolutions of Copyright ©️ and the related rights. Then, creative commons. The translations with robots styles as an other step? 👉The trademarks ®️ became easier for a better commercialisations of any product and the patented product nowadays thanks to the newtechs wisch is also an alternative more. 👉The industriel designs with TM and the tridimensionnels expmorations. 👉The Geographical indications products as a tool for the free trade and the food sufficiency. 🚀Diplomacy and sciences encuenters without meetings. #lexdatabase offers a comprehensivs collection of IP laws and treaties from over 200 juridictions. Last week, #wipo hosted a meetings for judges from various countries In the same time with Gesda summit. The ongoing Judicial reforms to introduce specialized IP judiciaires. 🚀The Global Innovation Index published yearly by WIPO is criticized on the 17th editions. GII is not an analytics index! 🚀WIPO is not anymore the UN special agency specialized on IP challenged by the others International organizations and their own mechanics. #trips agreements could be administered by an independent secretary as the IP use to be administered by separated secretaries before the WIPO founded by the UN General Assembly on 1967. 🚀The crucial challenges of the IP offices in world changed since the newstechs aerea in the middle of the 90'. Among them WIPO bis? Wealth creations challenging public healths? #EUIPO and #EPO as regionals organisations dealing with bilatéralism, trilateralism, quatrilateralism and multilateralisms. Their members are from EU and EFTA and some other states is eastern of Europe, 🇨🇭is included😇. The 🇪🇺EU unitary patent system unified patented in countries. The effectiveness is between #eu members. #USPTO can be challenged by EUIPO and EPO or not? 🚀#CNIPA in China, #kipo in Korea and #jpo in Japan focuses on newstechs more than never. The #OIF summit hosted is Paris launched the alliance of IP Frenchspeaking countries instead to support #OAPI in the African Frenchspeaking aerea otherwise #Monaco is the egocentrism of the OIF. ⚓The humanitarian Diplomacy is well-known as a success in the multilateral level with the 🇨🇭international Geneva dimensions. The sciences Diplomacy is competiting with the tradediplomacy ✍️

"One of the silver linings of working on disinformation and misinformation, specifically, as two types of online harms is that now I believe that we understand the trends and the patterns and the metanarratives and the more recycled claims that get repeated over and over in different contexts across different countries. And that would not be possible without multistakeholder collaboration and also researchers that have the capacity, the language skills, and the experience to look at multiple countries and their connections at once." Roberta Braga, Founder and Executive Director, Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas at All Tech Is Human's Responsible Tech Summit at SVA Theatre in New York City. Braga joined Filippo Pierozzi (Associate Expert, United Nations), Jonathan Tan (First Secretary Technology Policy, British Embassy Washington) and moderator Sara Rendtorff-Smith (Chief Policy Advisor - Tech Peace & Security Permanent Mission of Denmark to the UN, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark Ministry) to explore current online harms, the impact and lasting effects that they have on victims, and mitigation strategies to co-create a better tech future.

This is an article that needs to be read.

In her hearing, Henna Virkkunen, the Commissioner-designate / Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy committed to promoting cultural diversity. Other positive take aways for the cultural and creative sectors: 1️⃣Henna Virkkunen is in favour of transparency for online viewing data: creators should know precisely about the performance of their works online. A measure that EFAD - European Film Agency Directors association (a.i.s.b.l) has championed for years 💫 2️⃣ MEDIA: The Commissioner-designate emphasized the value of the MEDIA programme under #CreativeEurope. 3️⃣ Fair Remuneration & AI : Virkkunen stressed the need for fair remuneration for creators, especially when their works are used in AI training. Creators should be able to opt out or be remunerated. She encouraged stakeholders to find agreements on "licensing solutions". The copyright directive will be evaluated in 2016 and the Commissioner-designate is willing to explore "what new improvements are needed" 🙏 Thank you to MEPs Emma RAFOWICZ and Ilhan Kyuchyuk for raising these important issues
