UK needs to relax AI laws or risk transatlantic ties, thinktank warns
Briefly

The Tony Blair Institute has urged the UK to ease copyright laws to enable AI firms to innovate without licenses. This move aims to preserve its transatlantic relation with the US amidst potential tariffs. The institute warns that stringent copyright measures could push AI development overseas and weaken the UK's competitiveness in AI while risking its economic and national security. They support allowing AI firms to use copyrighted material unless creators opt out, arguing that overly strict laws could hinder growth and innovation needed for security interests.
Without similar provisions in the United States, it would be hard for the UK government to enforce strict copyright laws without straining the transatlantic relationship.
If the UK imposes laws that are too strict, it risks falling behind in the AI-driven economy and weakening its capacity to protect national security interests.
