Case chronology
Arte es Ética retrospectively dates the manifesto's first publication
The current manifesto page identifies 5 April 2023 as its original publication date.
Arte es Ética publishes a joint statement with SEGAP and CGT opposing an AI extended collective licensing draft
The three groups call on Spain's culture ministry to stop the AI extended collective licensing draft, oppose opt-out mechanisms replacing prior creator consent, and question remuneration and licensing scope.
Arte es Ética marks a 2026 manifesto revision
The current manifesto is marked updated on 30 May. It demands limits on current commercial generative AI, destruction of datasets it considers infringing, and prior consent for new models.
Research question
compare collective refusal, selective technological acceptance and creator consent; version differences do not establish a common global trajectory.
