Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]Contribution
Transparency is where we now hoist our flag, and it is the hill we fight on. It is the most practical solution, and there is no technical reason why we cannot have full transparency. There is no reason why artists, creators and inventors should not know that their work is being scraped by generative AI bots. There is no reason why we cannot make sure that we deal with this and make sure that all our musicians have the right to assert their rights. The only thing stopping that is a fear of angering the tech lobbyists, but we must take seriously the property rights of 2.4 million creatives who contribute £126 billion to the UK economy every year.
