LEGAL BEAT: PAUL MCCARTNEY OPPOSES PROPOSAL TO CHANGE U.K. COPYRIGHT ...
Paul McCartney is concerned Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) could steal from artists if the U.K. government approves changes to its copyright law. A new proposal would permit A.I. developers to use creators’ content on the internet to assist in developing A.I. models unless the holder of the rights “opts out.” For instance, an A.I. developer could not use a songwriter’s song if the songwriter notifies the A.I. service providers that they do not give permission for A.I. companies to use the songwriter’s music.
As some opponents of the proposed bill have claimed, the “opt out” provision is not reasonable since it is not possible for a rights holder to notify thousands of A.I. companies to inform them that they do not give permission to use their creative content.
Another question that arises is, how would individual creators monitor all the A.I. service providers to see if their creative content is being used by A.I. companies without their permission?
