El 80% de los escritores ven la inteligencia artificial generativa como una amenaza para los derechos de autor.

The article discusses the concerns of authors and writers regarding the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on copyright and intellectual property. According to a study conducted by the Collegian Writers Association (ACE), 80% of authors believe that GAI poses a significant threat to their rights as creators. They feel that their works are being used without authorization or compensation, leading to a lack of transparency in the process.

The study, titled «Writing and Translating with GAI,» includes insights from 603 participants and highlights the fears surrounding the potential uniformity in literary styles that could arise from editing, translating, and correcting texts using AI tools. Many authors worry that these tools may hinder their ability to produce original and diverse literary works in the future.

Despite some improvements in contractual relationships with publishers since the publication of a previous white paper in 2019, there are still issues surrounding fair compensation for authors. A significant portion of authors (22%) reported not receiving payment for their work in the past five years, while others (16%) published books without formal contracts.

The report also sheds light on the financial struggles faced by authors, with the majority earning less than a thousand euros over a five-year period. This disparity in income underscores the challenges that authors and translators face in maintaining sustainable livelihoods from their creative endeavors.

In conclusion, the ACE emphasizes the need for a European regulatory framework to protect the rights of authors and uphold human creativity in the face of technological advancements like GAI. The organization stresses the importance of defending cultural originality created by individuals rather than algorithms, highlighting the broader societal implications of safeguarding copyright in the digital age.
