A new album called Is that what we want? Contains a star list of more than 1,000 musicians – and the sound of silence.
In addition to the contributions of the artists, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Cat Stevens and Damon Albar, the album was released on Tuesday to protest the proposed British changes to the artificial intelligence law, which artists are afraid of impairing their creative control.
Creative industries at globally face legal and ethical implications of AI models that can produce their own product after being trained for popular works without the necessary payment of the creator of the original content.
The Government in the UK is advised to allow technological companies to use copyright protected material to help train the AI model unless the creators are explicitly excluded.
The critics of the idea fear that artists will make it difficult to keep control of their work and will undermine the British creative industry. Elton John and Paul McCartney are among those who have declared themselves against the plan.
In a letter to the Times on Monday, McCartney, John and Andrew Lloyd Webber warned on proposals, saying that the current copyright system was “one of the main reasons why the owners of law work in Britain”.
The protest album contains snapshots of empty studios and performance performance to show what colors will be the fate of creative places if the plan goes by. The titles of 12 songs describe “The British Government must not legalize the theft of music to use AI companies.”
Artists claim change of reverse principles of author’s law law
They will be donated to the musicians to help the musician.
“The Government’s proposal would give the life of musicians in the country AI companies, free of charge, letting those companies take advantage of the work of musicians to leave them,” said Composer and AI programmer Ed Newton-Rex, who organized the album.
“It’s a plan that not only would be catastrophic to musicians, but it’s completely unnecessary,” Newton-Rex said. “The UK can be leaders in AI without throwing our leading creative industry on the bus.”
The Government of the British Labor Party says he wants to make the UK to become a world leader in AI. In December, he announced the consultation on how the author’s rights can “enable the creators and legal owners to control control and seek fee for using their training AI”, while providing “AI programmers have an easy access to a wide range of high quality Creative content.
Publishers, artistic organizations and media companies, including Associated Press, have gathered as creative rights in AI coalition to oppose the weakening of copyright protection.
Several British newspapers on Tuesday launched sheaths on its front pages, criticizing the government consultation and saying: “I protect the creative industry – that’s just fair.”
