The UK’s creative sector is urging the government to protect copyright rules for the £100bn-a-year industry. A coalition of almost 40 British creative groups has called for a licensing market to ensure fair use of creative content in AI development. The group wants the government to adopt basic principles for AI policy, including copyright protections. This comes ahead of a government consultation on AI and creative industries.
The creative sector is concerned that AI companies are reproducing UK creative output without payment or attribution. The coalition argues that copyright law is crucial to the industry’s success and future growth.
