New EU Copyright Regulations a Possibility

A vote on new EU copyright regulations could change the way our user content is monitored, with the responsibility falling on internet sites and could stop content being uploaded

A large group of Internet pioneers have sent an open letter to the European Union urging it to scrap a proposal to introduce automated upload filters, arguing that it could damage the internet as we know it. If passed the new regulation would require mandatory filters on all sites that accept and share user generated content. Not only will they be scanning the content but rejecting anything that doesn鈥檛 pass their copyright rules. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia tells Click why he鈥檚 concerned about the changes.

Click speaks to Norman Judah, Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft Worldwide Services about AI - where Microsoft is heading and how it is adapting technological innovation with cultural sensitivity and ethical values across its global market.
