Overview

• The 'Make It Fair' campaign, supported by prominent figures like Paul McCartney and Andrew Lloyd Webber, opposes proposed UK copyright reforms that favor tech companies.
• The proposed changes would allow tech firms to use copyrighted material for AI training by default, requiring creators to opt out to protect their rights.
• Critics argue that AI companies are profiting from unlicensed use of creative works, with little transparency about how data is sourced or used.
• Alternative solutions, such as licensing models and levies on devices, have been proposed to ensure fair compensation for creators.
• Advocates for ethical AI development highlight existing models that respect intellectual property and reward creators for their contributions.
