Urgent Action Needed to Stop AI Developers From ‘Destroying’ Artists’ Careers, Say British Lawmakers
A U.K. parliamentary group calls for the passage of strong AI laws to protect artists from the nascent technology.
A U.K. parliamentary committee is calling on the British government to introduce tough new laws that would make it illegal for artificial intelligence(AI) developers to use copyright-protected music for training purposes without consent – and protect creators and artists from the unauthorized use of their voice and image in AI-generated works. A key priority for the British government should be the creation of a comprehensive “pro-creative industries” AI bill that will require tech companies to clearly label all AI-generated content and keep an auditable record of all music used in the input process, says the cross-party group of more than 100 elected members of Parliament (MPs) and Peers. The parliamentary group’s recommendations come almost two years after U.K. government body The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) was heavily criticized by the music industry for proposing a new text and data mining (TDM) exception that would have allowed AI developers to freely use copyright-protected works for commercial purposes (albeit with certain restrictions).
