"A senior ministerial aide said AI companies would never have to compensate creatives for using their content to train their systems, in a statement that has alarmed campaigners demanding Labour deliver a fairer deal for musicians, artists and writers from the tech industry."
"Kirsty Innes, recently appointed as a special adviser to Liz Kendall, the secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, said whether or not you philosophically believe the big AI firms should compensate content creators, they in practice will never legally have to. The government is consulting on how creatives should be compensated by AI firms and only last week leading British artists including Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and Paul McCartney urged Keir Starmer to stand up for creators' human rights and protect their work."
"Labour has been at loggerheads with the UK's creative community since launching a consultation on reforming copyright law, with the preferred option of letting AI companies use copyright-protected work without seeking the owner's permission unless they signal a desire to opt out of the process."
A senior ministerial aide claimed AI companies will never legally have to compensate creatives for using their content to train systems. The government is consulting on how creatives should be compensated by AI firms while prominent musicians have urged protection for creators' rights. The aide deleted earlier posts asserting that much of this activity can continue outside UK jurisdiction and calling the situation 'a bitter pill to swallow'. Donations to the Tony Blair Institute from Oracle-linked sources and industry ties to large AI infrastructure projects have raised concerns about industry influence. Labour's preferred consultation option favors an opt-out model for training data use.
