With great enthusiasm, Reglab, in partnership with Alandar and Ecoa is launching the Observatory on Copyright and Technology, a space dedicated to closely monitoring and analyzing, with rigor and depth, the developments in legislation, public policies, and debates on the impacts of new technologies in the field of copyright.
The Observatory emerges as a center for knowledge production and collaboration, bringing together data, analyses, and empirical evidence to foster a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of technological innovation and the protection of creativity.
The study marking the Observatory’s launch examines how different countries have approached copyright exceptions in the context of text and data mining (TDM) and the training of artificial intelligence systems. This research offers a valuable comparative perspective for professionals, researchers, companies, and policymakers.
What you will find in this study
- Global overview: comparative analysis of 50 countries on rules for text and data mining (TDM) and AI training.
- Spotlight on Brazil: Brazilian legislation remains among the most restrictive in Latin America, with no direct mention of these practices, creating risks of legal uncertainty.
- International contrasts: countries such as the U.S., Australia, Japan, and the European Union have adopted more flexible frameworks, allowing broad use, including for commercial purposes.
- Impacts on innovation: less restrictive frameworks have accelerated research and advances in AI, while excessive restrictions may hinder local technological development.
- Ongoing debates in Brazil: Bill 2.338/2023 proposes limited exceptions and introduces complex remuneration schemes, which Reglab highlights as unfeasible and potentially restrictive.
