DGC Releases Manifesto on the Value of Human Creativity



The manifesto is a response to the rapid expansion of AI technologies across the audiovisual sector and warns that the challenge exists beyond economics and jobs. It raises fundamental questions about authorship, cultural sovereignty, artistic expression, and the future of storytelling.



The manifesto affirms several core principles:

Storytelling is human work, rooted in lived experience, judgment, imagination, and collaboration.
Art is not content. A creative work is an expression of the human experience and not merely a product designed to feed algorithms and maximize engagement.
Tools are not authors. AI systems may assist with creative work, but they cannot replace human authorship, creative labour, or cultural responsibility.
The risks posed by AI are cultural as well as economic. Systems optimized for scale threaten to flatten culture, reduce diversity of expression, and undermine distinct national and regional voices.
Creative innovation must also account for environmental sustainability, and the growing energy demands of large-scale AI systems.


The DGC manifesto also outlines a series of recommendations for governments, regulators, public funders, producers, platforms, and technology companies. These include stronger protections for human authorship, transparency with respect to AI-generated material, standardize mandatory reporting and disclosure regarding the use of AI tools, and safeguards against the displacement of creative workers.
