At this point there is a new threat to the Copyright of musicians in the UK from the accelerating introduction of AI into every aspect of life.
UK Music Chief Executive, Tom Kiehl warned “However, while we share the ambition to realise benefits from AI there was nothing in her statement about the huge damage that would be caused to the music industry by Government plans to give AI firms unfettered access to music under sweeping changes to copyright law. The proposals would be a disaster for the UK's £7.6 billion music industry."

The Live Music Forum Copyright Campaign has submitted a Government Petition calling on the Government to,
Prohibit AI from Training on UK music without permission and fair compensation.
We are waiting for our Petition to be considered and will report here if and when it is published by the Government.
