Read our privacy policy The UK’s creative industries have launched a new campaign to fight back against their content being used for free by global tech AI firms. Throughout the next week, media outlets will run the “Make It Fair” campaign with the message: “The government wants to change the UK’s laws to favour big tech platforms so they can use British creative content to power their AI models without our permission or payment. Let’s protect the creative industries – it’s only fair.” Launching the campaign today, Owen Meredith, CEO of News Media Association, said: “We already have gold-standard copyright laws in the UK. We’re appealing to the great British public to get behind our ‘Make It Fair’ campaign and call on the government to guarantee creatives are able to secure proper financial reward from AI firms to ensure a sustainable future for both AI and the creative industries.” Launching a music industry campaign to coincide with the “Make It Fair” campaign, choral composer Ed Newton-Rex, founder of Fairly Trained, a non-profit that certifies generative AI companies for training data practices that respect creators’ rights, said: “One thousand UK musicians released a joint album today, recordings of empty studios, calling on the government to change course or risk empty studios becoming the norm.
