Creative Industries
Sectors focused on creating and distributing cultural and artistic goods and services.
How the laws define this
Both sources establish that creative industries center on the creation, production, and distribution of cultural and artistic goods and services in Georgia, driven by human creativity or talent and anchored in intellectual property. Each text also explicitly incorporates film and television within this scope. However, the instruments diverge on the precise breadth of sectors covered. The broader entry for Georgia SR 789 encompasses a wide spectrum of artistic fields, specifically listing music, publishing, and visual arts alongside film and television as major economic drivers impacted by artificial intelligence. In contrast, the resolution text establishing the Senate Study Committee under SR 789 introduces entertainment goods and services to the general definition, yet restricts its primary focus to film, television, and related writing professions. Compliance professionals must therefore note whether a regulation applies to the broader artistic economy or specifically targets screen and writing sectors.
