Paul McCartney has called on the British government not to change the copyright laws, which he says can allow artificial intelligence companies to eliminate artists.
The British government is advising whether tech firms are allowed to use copyright content to help train artificial intelligence models unless the creators clearly opt out.
McCartney told the BBC that artists would make it difficult to control their work and weaken the UK’s creative industries.
“You have young boys, girls, come, and they write a beautiful song, and they have nothing to own, and they have nothing to do with it. And whatever they want, they can only cut it , “The 82 -year -old former Beatle said in an interview on Sunday. A squeeze was issued on Saturday by the BBC.
“In fact, the money is going somewhere. When it comes to the streaming platform, someone is getting it, and it should be the person who created it. It should not be tech anywhere.
The UK’s Center-Fee Labor Party government says it wants to make the UK a global leader in AI. In December, he announced a consultation on how copyright law could enable the creators and right holders to overcome the use of their works for AI training and take compensation for it while It also ensures that “AI developers have easy access to a wide range. High quality creative content.
Publishers, artists’ organizations and media companies, including the Associate Press, have tied together as creative rights in the AI ​​alliance to weaken copyright protection.
“We are people, you are a government. You have to protect us. This is your job,” McCartney said. “So you know, if you are putting a bill, make sure you are creative thinkers, creative artists, or you’re not going to them.”
