Sir Paul McCartney has voiced concerns that proposed copyright law changes may diminish artists' rights and creativity by allowing AI to utilize their work without ownership. He emphasized the issue of unlicensed use in AI training, noting that new artists could lose control over their creations, with no financial benefits despite others profiting. The ongoing consultation by the government aims to address these legal uncertainties and the impact on creative professionals amidst rising AI technologies. McCartney, along with other celebrities, supports the call for stronger protections for artists from potential exploitative practices.
You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don't own it, and they don't have anything to do with it.
The truth is, the money's going somewhere. Somebody's getting paid, so why shouldn't it be the guy who sat down and wrote Yesterday?
The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works.
The government said it would use the consultation, which runs until 25 February, to explore key points of the copyright law proposals.
