Beeban Kidron, an acclaimed film director, is vocally opposing UK government plans to reform copyright laws for AI companies, claiming they prioritize corporate advantages over cultural interests. As a campaigner, she emphasizes that advisors like AI tsar Matt Clifford, who holds shares in AI firms, influence policy in favor of corporate stakeholders rather than artists and creators. The proposed changes have ignited backlash from various cultural figures, raising concerns about the representation and relevance of creative voices in shaping technology policy.
Kidron stated that the government is listening only to those who benefit from the proposals, ignoring the broader public and cultural interests.
She criticized the reliance on tech sector advisors like Clifford, suggesting it undermines the national interest and cultural heritage.
Lady Kidron calls the copyright overhaul a 'shameful policy,' pointing out that it prioritizes corporate interests over the creative industries.
Kidron urges more balance in governmental consultations, noting that understanding the impact on cultural figures isn’t part of the current dialogue.
