💥 United Kingdom Consultation on AI and Copyright: Are New Rules Necessary?
The UK government has initiated a consultation with the AI and creative industries to explore legal changes in the use of copyrighted material. The current ambiguity prevents both industries from reaching their full potential, according to Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology. Proposed changes include allowing unrestricted commercial use, opt-out for creators, strengthening copyright laws, or maintaining current laws. Criticism from creatives and organizations highlights the risk of harm to creators and the lack of transparency.
