A significant majority of the British public and politicians believe that AI companies should compensate artists and musicians for using their work. Recent polling indicates that 69% of the public and 86% of MPs support this view, especially in light of Labour's controversial plans to exempt AI firms from copyright laws. The rise of AI technologies, such as image generators that mimic artistic styles, has intensified the debate over intellectual property rights.
The fashion industry is also feeling the impact, with companies like H&M facing backlash for using AI-generated models that clone real-life counterparts. This situation has sparked a campaign led by major UK newspapers against the government's proposals, emphasizing the need for transparency and fair compensation for creators. As AI continues to evolve, the call for ethical practices in its development and deployment becomes increasingly urgent.
