The summer report begins with the European Union (EU)’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Office, which published a voluntary Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI Models to guide compliance with the EU AI Act. However, a coalition of rights holders in the cultural and creative sectors strongly criticized the Code and related tools, claiming they ignore copyright concerns and favour AI developers. Meanwhile, in South Korea, Culture Minister nominee Chae Hwi-young outlined plans to grow the cultural sector to 215 billion USD, emphasizing AI-driven content creation and the need for independent film production. In addition, the report highlights that the British government rejected a 5% streaming levy, citing the importance of a “mixed production ecology” in audiovisual policy, while the Czech Republic introduced a 3.5% streaming investment obligation under a new Audiovisual Act, expanding support to series and games. Besides, in the United States, bipartisan lawmakers proposed the CREATE Act to extend and enhance Section 181 film/TV tax incentives through 2030. Finally, the report turns to recent developments concerning digital platforms, notably Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and TikTok.
