We have a chance to prevent AI decimating Britain's creative industries – but it's slipping away www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No new points from Baroness Kidron but "the fight isn't over yet" – seems to foreshadow a further motion in the Lords on June 2nd.

#DUABill #DataBill #genAI #IPlaw
My colleagues and I from all sides in the House of Lords have acted where the government has refused, adding emergency transparency measures to the legislation – the data (use and access) bill – that is passing through parliament. Our amendment would allow existing copyright law to be enforced: copyright owners would understand when, where and by whom their work was being stolen to train AI. The logic being that if an AI firm has to disclose evidence of theft, it will not steal in the first place. These measures, voted for in ever-increasing numbers by lords from all parties – and notable grandees from the government's own backbenches – were voted down by a government wielding its significant, if reluctant, majority.

Letter from DSIT Secretary Peter Kyle regarding AI and copyright, in response to Commons CMS chair Caroline Dinenage's letter of 28 May committees.parliament.uk/publications...

#DUABill #DataBill #genAI #IPlaw #techpolicy
To be absolutely clear, I will reiterate that copyright law in the UK is unchanged. Works are protected unless one of the existing exceptions, which have existed for some time, such as exceptions for teaching and research, applies, or the rights holder has granted permission for their work to be used. That is the law. What we are working to provide is an approach that delivers not only legal certainty in the abstract, but also practical certainty in a copyright regime that is respected and enforceable, while still balancing the needs of copyright owners as well as copyright users.

Reason given by MPs for disagreeing with Baroness Kidron's latest Data Bill amendment on AI transparency bills.parliament.uk/publications...

(Note that, unlike previous versions, this Lords amendment did not engage Commons financial privilege.)

#DUABill #genAI #IPlaw #techpolicy
COMMONS REASON The Commons disagree with the Lords in their Amendment 49F for the following Reason— 49G Because the proposed statement to the House of Commons is unnecessary, given the economic impact assessment and report which are required to be published and laid before Parliament by Commons Amendments 45 and 46, and because it is not appropriate to require the Secretary of State to publish draft legislation within three months of publishing those documents.

("The AI companies fiercely defend their own internet protocol (IP) …"?)
Creators do not deny the creative and economic value of AI, but we do deny the assertion that we should have to build AI for free with our work and then rent it back from those who stole it. Ours is not an argument about progress but about value. The AI companies fiercely defend their own internet protocol (IP) but deny the value of our work. Not everything new is progress, not everything that already exists is without value, but we, the creative industries, embody both change and tradition and we reject the assertion that we are standing in the way of change. We are merely asserting our right to continue to exist and play our part in the UK's future growth.

#genAI #IPlaw #techpolicy

🤦
Technology companies are pushing some of the same ideas they always have, which now seem almost oddly old-fashioned. The idea is that governments need to relax copyright laws so they can "take the lead" or "get ahead" in "the AI arms race." This sounds vital, and it is, except that the kind of AI that's most important is general intelligence, which has very little to do with the kind that can make new songs in the style of, say, Led Zeppelin. That's just a consumer product. Also, what exactly are governments racing toward? Since AI is expected to eliminate white-collar jobs and the tax revenue that flows from them, what exactly is the hurry?
