Former Meta Executive Nick Clegg's Perspective
Former Meta executive Nick Clegg said forcing AI tech companies to ask for permission before using copyrighted content to train AI models would destroy the industry. He spoke during the Charleston Festival in East Sussex, emphasizing that AI is already capable of creating its art.
During a recent interview with The Times of London, Clegg engaged in a heated debate over AI copyright laws, highlighting the implications of proposals allowing copyright holders to monitor the usage of their work in AI systems.
Music legends like Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney have urged the UK government not to change copyright laws to favor big tech firms, warning of potential risks to the livelihoods of millions in the creative industry.
Artists' Demands and the AI Age
Clegg argued that the demands of artists to require tech firms to seek permission before using copyrighted materials for AI training are unrealistic. He emphasized that AI systems have already utilized a significant amount of publicly available data.
Protecting Copyright in the Creative Industry
The UK creative community expressed concerns about proposed changes to copyright laws in an open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, emphasizing the importance of copyright in maintaining Britain's creative status.
Global Perspectives on AI and Copyright
Elsewhere, in the U.S., Hollywood personalities, including director Guillermo del Toro and actor Cynthia Erivo, advocated for upholding existing copyright protections against AI in a joint letter to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The letter aimed to safeguard the creative industry's rights amid advancements in AI technology.
