Over 40 publishers urge UK government to protect copyright in AI training practices

A new coalition called the Creative Rights in AI Coalition has formed, consisting of over 40 organizations from various creative sectors. They are urging the UK government to address the unauthorized use of their content by big tech firms for AI training. The coalition is advocating for stronger copyright protections and transparency for content creators. This comes as the government plans to consult on the relationship between AI companies and creative industries. Recent polling shows that a significant majority of the public believes AI companies should pay royalties to content creators and disclose the information used to train their models. The coalition emphasizes the need for a fair licensing market to support both creative and tech sectors.
