those options range from "option 0", simply doing nothing and leaving UK copyright legislation in its currently uncertain state when it comes to the use of copyright materials to train AI models, through to options which would either require specific consent from rights holders in all cases ("option 1") or allow consent to be assumed by AI developers unless a rights holder objects, subject to developers being transparent about what materials have been used in training ("option 3").

A recent UX audit for a new client forced me to rethink how AI-generated designs fit into the way we explain and justify design decisions.

A comprehensive UX audit of all the app was the first thing I needed to do - to identify friction and suggest improvements. After reviewing the app and particular features, I had a list of flaws and possible improvements. And I had an idea - what if I screenshot the app and send it to Figma make with instructions, based on my findings.

If your partner in Munich mishandles customer data, or your reseller in Paris uses a "black box" AI tool to generate deceptive ads, it isn't just their reputation on the line. It's yours. With the EU AI Act now in full swing and GDPR entering its "mature enforcement" era, the distance between a partner's mistake and your company's $20 million fine has never been shorter.

New data is reinforcing a structural shift in how AI systems access publisher content: AI models are increasingly scraping publisher content, regardless of bot-blocking measures or content licensing deals meant to control usage, improve attribution or drive referral traffic. New research from analytics firms and bot-tracking companies shows AI tools are increasingly crawling publisher sites as inputs for AI-generated summaries and training, while sending back only limited referral traffic.
