More details
The large-scale adoption of ChatGPT and other machine learning tools have been trained to absorb vast amounts of artists' original work and then programmed to repurpose them and produce work that is almost indistinguishable from the originator. In most cases, this is being done with their permission. The ramifications to the UK creative industry are enormous with huge losses of jobs and revenues due to unlicensed use of Copyright, Patents, and Trademarked work

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We could accept a petition calling for changes to Trademark, Copyright, and GDPR legislation, but it would need to be clear what changes you would like.
We could also accept a petition calling on the Government to review the adequacy of legislation in this area, given the development of machine learning.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
