Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums, oh my! 🖼️

The Open Culture program at CC works to support the development of a thriving open culture ecosystem among cultural heritage institutions and their users.

Look back at 2024 in Open Culture with us in our latest blog post: loom.ly/Nz6dZ2w

What a backdrop for the #PublicDomain celebration in snow-dusted Brussels ❄️

Lovely to connect with Bartolomeo Meletti fellow member of the Europeana copyright community steering group as today we celebrate the launch of the Europeana Public Domain Charter, which Maarten Zeinstra and I presented✨

🎉 What a year it was for us in the Creative Commons #OpenCulture community!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year a success 🙏

In our latest blogpost, @brigittevezina.bsky.social addresses the issue of ©️ protection of AI-generated outputs.

▶️ The criteria to establish whether something generated with the help of #AI is worthy of copyright protection already exist!

Openness can remove unfair barriers to access to heritage so people can connect and engage with digital heritage.

It builds digital bridges across heritage collections and gives rise to new narratives in new contexts for digital equity.

This week I’m attending my first ever ⁦‪Creative Commons‬⁩ summit in Mexico City 🇲🇽

Getting ready for an intense week where we’ll talk #OpenCulture and #AI, Indigenous heritage, and the shared values underpinning our heritage commons 💫

At the WIPO conversation on generative AI and IP I had the honor to deliver our Creative Commons statement calling attention to the need to promote #bettersharing and uphold the #commons on which all #creativity depends.
Read the full statement on the CC blog creativecommons.org/2023/09/22/c...

Artists and cultural heritage professionals filled the room at CC’s symposium on Generative #AI & the Creativity Cycle at NYU last week and I was lucky to be there.
