Update: Parliament wants to hold AI providers accountable

▤ Summary

Swiss lawmakers want to extend the planned media ancillary copyright framework to cover AI applications as well as search engines and platforms. The update sends the proposal back to the federal government for further review of how AI training and AI-generated outputs affect compensation for journalistic content. The current draft already targets major online services such as Google, but parliament now wants rules that also account for generative AI. The change could delay rollout of the new licensing regime for media companies by about two years.
