Epiphanes, "Europe is a mediation point between the American and Chinese approach"

The Paris summit on artificial intelligence could lead to an approach capable of mediating between the hyperberoist of the United States and the totally deregulation of China. It is the hope of Stefano Epifani, president of the Foundation for digital sustainability, on the eve of the opening of the works in which more than 100 world leaders and a thousand guests will participate. “For the moment, especially in Europe, we have been very busy to discuss the sex of the angels, focusing on the ethics of the AI ​​which is a false problem” says Epifani at AGI, “the fact that in Paris there is a more orientation based on an industrial dimension of the sector, it bodes well, but The road is uphill because the cultural and ideological resistances are strong “.

For Epifani so far he has linked himself on “speeches on the highest systems with too Luddist approaches”, but the Paris summit could be an opportunity to pass “to a serious speech such as the one on copyright, which makes us understand how it is necessary Rhine himself some elements and dynamics that we dived to consolidate “. The theme of copyright has already been raised since it was clear that the artificial intelligence models train ‘on the enormous amount of content available on the net – from novels to theatrical works, from photographs to scripts, from articles to documentaries – Without ever paying a penny for their exploitation.

“We must change the way we conceive the copyright that will still remain“adds Epifani, which mentions for example the aphorism according to which” the movable -character press freed the book and the book freed the man “.” The press had been opposed because it transformed an èlite tool into an instrument of Massa and its evolution was the right of copyright that should not be confused with the author. It is essential that copyright should be protected, but they are completely secular with respect to the fate of the ‘right of copy’ exercised by intermediaries such as publishers, whose role is changing “.

Epifani is contrary to the excess of the standardization of the sector: “The ia reworks content to create value” says “and the solution of the compensation for the exploitation of these contents will not be ‘de iure’ but decided by the market. At the moment in which the social contexts change is the right that must adapt and instead We often use the law as an embankment to innovation. We are in a phase in which that embankment does not hold up And we must identify those market methods that will allow those who produce content to earn through them. I am not against the right but I am convinced that, if we use it as the only lever, we will create a negative effect “.

From the Paris Sumit Epifani hopes “an economic policy document” can come out “. “Deepseek shows that no 400 billion dollars are needed to get on an equal footing in the race for the IA and paradoxically it was the Chinese startup that brought Europe back into play, with its scarce resources and its rich talents”. With an ‘but’: “In Europe there are still the approach and orientation to build a common solution. We are in a phase of nationalisms and the Paris summit could allow you to put that trident made by politics, economics at the center of the debate, and technology. Europe could be the ideal mediation point between the American and the Chinese approach. We have the opportunity to be a laboratory in which an approach is developed that is not too liberalized or too ruined “.
