We were proud to be present at CISAC's General Assembly last week, for the adoption of The Paris Commitment — a set of principles urging governments, technology companies and cultural industries to ensure human creators remain protected, recognised and fairly remunerated in the AI era.

To mark the launch of the principles, CISAC has shared a video featuring international creators reflecting on the role creativity plays in human life, identity and culture. Directors UK member Jim Loach's reflections were featured in the video which can be viewed below.

I think of the great people like Harry Belafonte, who said that ‘artists are the gatekeepers of truth where civilizations anchor. We are the compass for humanity’s conscience.
