With lowered barriers to access and the development of new practices for Artificial Intelligence (AI), it’s no surprise that AI-related activities in the cultural heritage sector are increasing - a topic in focus on this month on Europeana Pro.

The Copyright Community of the Europeana Network Association was surveyed to help gain a greater understanding of the key challenges professionals face around copyright and invite possible solutions.
