Labour’s AI plan could be good for Britain – except the creatives it will throw under the bus | Ed Newton-Rex

Artists are quitting their jobs because AI companies are using their work to train AI models.

The UK government’s AI opportunities action plan was published by Matt Clifford .

Clifford proposes that copyright law be reformed to favour AI companies.

He seems to align himself with the government's recent proposal that we hand our creators’ copyrighted works their art, their music, their books to AI companies, for them to train their technology.

Ed Newton-Rex is the founder of Fairly Trained , a non-profit that certifies generative AI companies that respect creators’ rights.

He says the government’s consultation on AI and copyright, which still has six weeks to run, has been thrown into disarray.
