The UK government withdraws the proposal for default use of AI copyright, which creators call a significant victory
The UK government has announced the abandonment of a previous proposal that allowed AI companies to use copyrighted content for model training by default under an "opt-out" premise. This proposal had sparked widespread opposition, including from Elton John, Dua Lipa, and the House of Lords.
UK Secretary of State for Technology Liz Kendall stated that the government has listened to various opinions and will no longer pursue the proposal. A report released at the same time pointed out that there is still no consensus on how to balance the rights of creators with the development of the AI industry. Tom Kiehl, CEO of UK Music, called this a "major victory."
However, the UK government has not yet proposed an alternative plan and stated that it will not adjust current copyright laws until it can confirm that reforms can achieve economic and social goals. The technology industry groups are concerned that the long-term lack of clear rules could weaken the UK's position in global competition.
