Elton John and Dua Lipa seek protection from AI

SMRTR summary

British musicians and artists, including Dua Lipa, Sir Elton John, and Kate Bush, are urging Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to update copyright laws to protect their work from AI. Over 400 creators signed a letter supporting an amendment to the Data Bill requiring AI developers to disclose their use of copyrighted material. They argue this is crucial for preserving the UK's creative industry and developing future licensing agreements. The government is considering measures to benefit both creative and AI sectors, while critics warn stricter copyright rules could impede UK innovation and economic growth.
