Leading figures and organizations in the UK's creative industries, such as Coldplay, Paul McCartney, and Dua Lipa, advocate for protecting artists' copyright from big tech companies using AI without permission.
An open letter to Keir Starmer emphasizes that copyright is vital for artists and warns that proposed legal changes could jeopardize the UK's creative power and future income.
The letter calls for an amendment by Beeban Kidron that requires AI firms to inform copyright owners of using their work, with more than 400 signatories supporting the change.
Supporters of the amendment argue that it will ensure compensation for creatives and impact the training of AI models using copyrighted material.
