Government backtracks on AI and copyright after outcry from major artists
- gmerc 8mo agothey are just switching to waiting it out
- harvey9 8mo agoFlip-flopping on lots of different things has become a running joke for the UK government.
- kelseyfrog 8mo agoI thought rights were self-evident. :/
- chrisjj 8mo agoToo much so for this government. Their plan was to change the law to remove creator rights regarding theft, sorry, use by "AI".
- kelseyfrog 8mo agoI thought we were against IP as property. When did that change?
- hactually 8mo agowe went from the Linux and later Napster era of "information wants to be free" pretty quickly over the past decade. Billions have been spent on changing our minds and our children so privacy and privacy are bad.
- basisword 8mo agoWhat a dumb policy in the first place. One of the most successful creative industries in the world and your plan is to bend over for the big American tech companies instead of supporting the people actually making your country money.
- chrisjj 8mo agoThis Govt's serious problem is it has fallen hook line and sinker for the "AI" con trick. It thought shafting the creatives a price worth paying for a place on the "AI" gravy train. It still has no idea how deluded it is, so will be looking for an alternative "solution". Perhaps it can sell the UK populace's health data instead. Oh wait...
- soco 8mo agoBut isn't it always (or at least lately) like this? Corporations ruling, the small guy paying? I'm aware this sounds very leftie, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
- chrisjj 8mo agoNo. We've seen nothing as extreme as this Governmental "AI" delusion since Lysenkoist vitalism. And look where that ended up.
