Ibrahim Al-Muallim Suggests Broader Definition of Cultural Industries
The article focused on Engineer Ibrahim Al-Ma'mal's proposal, chairman of Al-Shorouk Foundation, to UNESCO for an updated, more comprehensive, and flexible definition of the cultural and creative industries. The aim of the proposal is to incorporate recent technological developments, such as artificial intelligence, software, and information technology with creative content, and to expand the classification to include areas like journalism, design, and educational content. This is intended to increase their contribution to the global economy, which is currently estimated at around 6%. Al-Ma'mal recommends adopting a broader definition that recognizes all industries generating cultural or economic value through creativity and knowledge, emphasizing the importance of creative AI, the role of journalism, and the educational dimension. He also underscores the need for clear international standards to measure the contributions of these industries, safeguard intellectual property rights, and address the ethical and social challenges associated with them. The goal is to promote diversity, innovation, and human development, while ensuring they are not exploited in ways that harm the rights of creators or concentrate power in the hands of a few. This is to be part of a global effort, led by UNESCO, to develop a more accurate and inclusive definition of these vital sectors.
