CISAC publishes Global Collections Report for 2023
The CISAC Global Collections Report highlights a 7.6% increase in intellectual property royalties for creators, reaching EUR 13.1 billion in 2023.
This growth indicates that all sectors have now fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. While all creative sectors did experience growth in 2023, the visual arts continued to face challenges.
CISAC President Björn Ulvaeus commented on the challenges posed by emerging technologies such as AI, stating:
Today, we are on the cusp of an enormous change. AI is shaking up our landscape, and, even as it does so, its impact is still unknown. Generative AI tools are producing works that are copied from, and risk replacing, the works of human creators. I am a user and a big fan of AI tools. I have always believed we can only ever embrace new technology, not try and stop it – but there is a rock-solid caveat: this must never be at the cost of compromising copyright and human rights.
