This is incredibly concerning, given that no effective rights reservations system for the use of content by gen AI has been proposed or implemented anywhere in the world, as the noble Lord, Lord Freyberg, said, making the Government’s proposals entirely speculative. As the NMA says, what the Government are proposing is an incredibly unfair trade-off, giving the creative industries a vague commitment to transparency, while giving the rights of hundreds of thousands of creators to gen AI firms. While creators are desperate for a solution after years of copyright theft by gen AI firms, making a crime legal cannot be the solution to mass theft.
