Nick Clegg, former president of global affairs at Meta, expressed concerns that obligations for tech companies to seek artists' permission before training AI models could endanger the AI industry in the UK. Speaking at the Charleston Festival, he acknowledged that while artists should have an opt-out option, it would not be feasible to request consent for every piece of work used in training. His comments come amid discussions about the UK government's Data (Use and Access) Bill, which aims to regulate how AI interacts with creative works.
Clegg argued that asking for permission to use artists’ work for AI training could "basically kill the AI industry in the UK overnight."
He stated that while artists should have the right to opt out, expecting permission for every work used is "somewhat implausible."
