Dua Lipa and Sir Elton John's bid to force government to change tack on AI fails
Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa opposed a data bill that has now been passed in the UK, despite objections from high-profile artists and peers in the House of Lords. The bill, which aimed to regulate tech companies' use of copyright material in training AI tools, faced criticism for potentially harming human artists' work. Despite the refusal of an amendment, the government welcomed the bill's passing, emphasizing its focus on leveraging data to boost the economy and enhance people's lives.
