Over 30 leaders from the UK's performing arts sector have voiced opposition to government proposals allowing AI companies to utilize creative works without consent. They argue that such measures threaten the fragile ecosystem reliant on copyright for freelance artists. While these leaders advocate for innovation and technology, they emphasized the importance of protecting artists' rights, urging the government to ensure transparency from AI companies regarding copyright use. Critics deem the proposed opt-out model for copyright as unfair and impractical, highlighting the necessity for stronger protections for creative professionals.
