On June 23, the Copyright Alliance filed comments in response to a consultation on draft AI principles launched by Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) through its Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA). The Copyright Alliance’s comments raised objections to the Thailand Government’s proposal to introduce text-and-data mining (TDM) exceptions similar to the exceptions in the European Union and highlighted the virtues of licensing and the existence of the AI licensing market for copyrighted works.
