The AI copyright standoff continues - with no solution in sight
The ongoing battle over AI and copyright has ignited tensions between technology and creative industries in the UK, with the government proposing AI developers access copyrighted material for training AI models without explicit permission. The controversy, now stalled in parliament, raises concerns about protecting artists' livelihoods while advancing AI technology. Key figures like Baroness Beeban Kidron advocate for stricter regulations to safeguard creative output, while others argue for a more permissive approach to support AI innovation. The outcome remains uncertain as discussions continue between the House of Lords and Commons.
