Tun John and Lipa are looking for protection from artificial intelligence

Dua Lipa, Sir Elon John, Sir Ian McKelin and Florence Welsh are among the list of stars calling on the Prime Minister to update the laws of publishing rights in a way that protects them from artificial intelligence.

A message signed by more than 400 British musicians, writers and artists, which is addressed to Sir Kerr Starmer, says the failure to grant this protection means “abandoning” their work for technology companies.

They also write, in danger, “the position of the United Kingdom as a creative power.”

They want the PM to support an amendment to the data bill (use and access) that require developers to be transparent with copyright owners about using their materials to train artificial intelligence models.

A government spokesman said: “We want our creative industries to flourish and artificial intelligence companies, which is why we consult a set of measures that we hope to work in both sectors,” said a government spokesman.

“It is clear that no changes will be considered unless we are completely satisfied because they are working for the creators,” they added.

Among the other authors are Kazu Eshigoro, theater writer David Hair, singers Kate Bush and Robby Williams, as well as Coldplay, Tom Stopard and Richard Cortis.

Sir Paul McCartney, who told BBC in January It was concerned about tearing artists from artificial intelligenceThe message also signed.

“We are wealth creators, reflect and encourage national stories, we are creative in the future, and artificial intelligence needs what it needs in the field of energy and computers.”

They say that their fears can be fulfilled if the government supports an amendment proposed by Baroneh Beban Kidon before the main voting of the House of Lords on Monday.

She says that the amendment of Baroness Kidron will allow both the developers of artificial intelligence and creators to develop licensing systems that will allow the content created for man in the future. “

Not everyone agrees with the artists ’approach.

Julia Wilmemens, co -founder of the British Research Center for Progress, said such proposals can hinder the United Kingdom and try to grow.

“You will not do anything to prevent foreign companies from using the content of British creative industries,” she told the BBC.

She said: “The restricted copyright system is from the beach of artificial intelligence, cools local innovation, and directly harms the economy of the United Kingdom.”

However, the message comes amid an escalating anxiety from the artists about the inclusion of their works, and the materials protected by copyright, in the data used to develop artificial intelligence systems.

These tools, which can produce new content in response to simple text demands, have become increasingly common and available to consumers.

But its capabilities were accompanied by concerns and criticism about the use of data and energy demand.

In February, artists, including Annie Linux and Damen Alban, released a silent album to protest the proposed changes to the government in the Copyright Law.

The government implemented a consultation about its proposal to allow developers to be able to use the content of creators on the Internet to help develop their models, unless the rights holders choose “canceling the subscription”.

According to the Wasse newspaper, the suggestion ministers were reviewed Next reverse reaction.

Mr. Ishigoro referred to the BBC to a previous statement in which he wrote, “Why is it fair and fair – why is it reasonable – changing the laws of copyright that links them to their time to take advantage of the mammoted companies at the expense of individual, musician writers, film makers and artists?”

The Nobel Prize -winning author added that since then, the only limited progress was that the government has now accepted that the proposals of the subscription is unlikely to be applicable, it was believed that a new consultation to find a more just plan, although it is still possible to see the meaning of any consultation.

“It is necessary to obtain this correctly,” he wrote.

MPS recently rejected a separate amendment by Baroness Kidron, which aims to make artificial intelligence developers responsible for the UK copy law.

Now, transparency obligations for technology companies under the new proposed amendment can support the development of licensing agreements between creators and companies.

“The United Kingdom is in a unique position to take its place as a global player in the international supply chain of Amnesty International, but to understand this opportunity requires transparency stipulated in amendments, which is necessary to create a vibrant license market,” said Barons Kidon.

In their statement, the government said: “It is very important that we take enough time to work through a set of responses to our consultation, but as much as it is important to put it mainly now and we consider the next steps.

“For this reason, we committed to publishing a report and evaluation of the economic impact – exploring a wide range of issues and options on all aspects of the discussion.”
