Rejected petition Prohibit AI from Training on UK music without permission and fair compensation.

As well as prohibiting AI developers from using UK copyrighted music for training without permission and fair cpmpensation, the government should also develop clear guidelines on how AI may interact with protected music content in a way that supports innovation while upholding creators’ rights.

More details

Musicians and composers depend on royalties more than ever, especially as live music revenues have declined since COVID. Allowing AI systems to learn from their work without consent or pay undermines their creative rights and livelihoods. Music is not just data—it is the unique and often recognisable expression of individual artistry, and it should be protected from exploitation by emerging technologies.
