The British Film Institute's report highlights concerns regarding AI's use of 130,000 unlicensed film and TV scripts to train models, threatening the UK screen sector. This unregulated use of intellectual property risks eliminating entry-level jobs, essential for nurturing new talent. While AI presents opportunities for improved workflows and fresh voices, the report warns of potential job displacement, especially among younger professionals. The UK creative industries advocate for an opt-in model for AI companies, necessitating permissions and licensing agreements to protect creators' rights.
The primary issue facing the 125bn industry is the use of intellectual property (IP) to train generative AI models without payment to, or permission from, rights holders.
AI offers significant opportunities for the screen sector such as speeding up production workflows, democratising content creation and empowering new voices, but it could also erode traditional business models.
