UK PM's Plan Sparks Outrage Among Creators

The UK Prime Minister wants to allow Big Tech companies to train AI systems on copyright material without permission, forcing writers, musicians, artists, and filmmakers to opt out if they want to protect their work. However, the culture committee, dominated by Labour MPs, advises against this plan, warning it would harm the creative industries and damage the UK's reputation. The committee suggests requiring AI developers to license copyrighted works before using them to train models instead. This move has sparked opposition from a leading newspaper, The Mail, which is campaigning to halt the proposal and protect creators from AI "scrapers" that have devoured their work without permission.
