The European Law Institute (ELI) and the lobal Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) have partnered to develop and implement guidelines for digital ecosystems to foster co-generation, sharing, and governance of AI technologies.

Running for the past two years, the GPAI ‘Cogen’ project focused its effort this year on analyzing the legal frameworks of the EU, US, and Japan; and comparing these jurisdictions’ approaches on copyright and data protection in the context of co-generation. Previous work, conducted by GPAI in collaboration with the UK Open Data Institute and Aapti (India) used a case study-based approach to understanding the concept of co-generation; examining how human input and actions, combined with AI processes, lead to the creation of new data and content. The Principles are complemented by an in-depth report that explores existing legal frameworks covering the Generative AI lifecycle in the European Union, the United States, and Japan. The Main Report and the Principles are available here.

This joint effort by ELI authors Prof Dr Alain Strowel and Prof Dr Sebastian Schwamberger, and the Cogen Project Group, wider Data Governance Working Group of GPAI and with feedback from ELI Advisory Committee and Observer.

ELI will host a webinar on 27 February 2025, from 13:00–14:30 CET, to discuss the Principles. This session will bring together experts to explore the implications of these developments and offer further insights into the evolving landscape Co-Generated Data.
