✍️ Leading figures in the UK's creative industries have urged the government to protect artists' copyright and not give away their work to big tech companies.
--
👉 The letter is signed by over 400 creatives, including music, theatre, film, literature, art, and media professionals.
👉 The government's plan would allow AI companies to use copyright-protected work without permission unless the copyright holder 'opts out'.
👉 The letter urges the government to accept an amendment that requires AI firms to tell copyright owners which individual works they have ingested into their models.
👉 The amendment will go to a House of Lords vote on Monday, but the government has already signalled its opposition to the change.
