OUR MUSIC IS NOT YOUR TRAINING DATA! No AI Sellout! — NYC Demonstration On May 19, @musicworkersalliance and partners will host a series of protests in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Austin to demand fair treatment, ethical standards, & stronger protections for artists
Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work.
The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively.
We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us.
They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law.
