Artists including Kate Bush, Sam Fender and Damon Albarn release silent album in protest at AI copyright plans
Sky NewsFEB 23
The UK government's proposed copyright changes risk allowing AI firms to exploit their work without consent, threatening creative ownership, fair compensation, and artistic livelihoods. This could undermine the UK’s music industry, devalue human creativity, and empower big tech to profit at their expense.
AI should not be seen as a threat to artists, but a tool that enhances creativity and supports innovation. It relies on human input and cannot replace human originality or intent. With proper regulation, AI can empower artists, offering new opportunities for creative exploration without undermining artistic value or livelihood.
