Almost 40 British creative groups spanning publishers, authors, and photographers have urged the government to protect copyright rules of the more than £100bn-a-year industry ahead of a controversial consultation. The Creative Rights in AI Coalition said a licensing market for the use of creative content in building generative AI was needed not just for fairness, but was also “the only way that both sectors will flourish and grow”.
” The creation of the coalition reflects concerns that the industry has not been aligned in its approach with government over rules that will have huge implications on the work done by British authors, musicians, journalists and film makers. Organisations that have joined the coalition include Daily Mail owner DMG, PRS for Music, the News Media Association, the Publishers Association, Associated Press, Society of Editors, Pan Macmillan and the British Phonographic Industry.
