The consultation arises because of what has been characterised as
pressure to amend the UK’s copyright laws to make it easier for predominantly American tech companies to train their AI models on other people’s creative work without permission, acknowledgment or payment. Creative industries are among the UK’s crown jewels – and AI is out to steal them | The Guardian
Below you can read about
- what the government has said
- how to respond - according to DACS and AOI
- places where you can find out what others are saying
What I RECOMMEND YOU DO is read carefully the recommendations of how
to respond from both
- DACS (a "not for profit" set up to maximise and collect copyright income) and the
- Association of Illustrators (AOI)
