Action Group on Digital & AI – Mission Statement

In the context of a strong acceleration of policies, programmes and initiatives in the field of digital, the Action Group on AI and Digital started, facilitated by Culture Action Europe and Michael Culture Association. It wants to understand and shape the impact of AI and the digital transformation on Europe’s cultural and creative sectors (CCS) and aims to advocate for tailored EU digital policies, taking into account both commonalities and diversities of the cultural and creative sectors. The group has a strong trans-sectoral dimension, bringing together professionals from cultural institutions, cultural organisations and creative interlocutors.

This Mission Statement results from a consultation process – both via workshops and a survey – involving various CCS professionals, including cultural institutions, artists, and digital experts. The questions of the survey were co-created with the members and have been the subject of 2 different workshops. The objective is to align policies with the needs of cultural professionals.
