Artists, illustrators and photographers have typically led the way in which in embracing new expertise. The issues that creators equivalent to Harry Woodgate have about AI packages (‘It’s the other of artwork’: why illustrators are livid about AI, 23 January) that “rely solely on the pirated mental property of numerous working artists, photographers, illustrators and different rights holders” have to be heeded.
Proof revealed not too long ago by the Home of Lords, gathered from the first-hand expertise of visible artists, galleries and consultants, demonstrates that the federal government’s proposed copyright exception may have far-reaching, detrimental penalties.
The UK’s £116bn cultural and artistic industries have a possibility to be world leaders in creating and sustaining expertise in rising applied sciences, however the authorities should make sure that artists’ rights are protected. We should recognise the essential significance of robust copyright regulation and honest remuneration, not simply to guard particular person artists, however to safeguard the UK’s cultural and artistic industries as an entire.
