The cross-industry group is concerned tech companies are exploiting the work of British companies. There is huge controversy over the way tech companies use content from the UK to feed their AI systems, without paying or crediting these firms. This comes as the Government is today expected to launch a consultation on how to manage the relationship between AI companies and creative industries.

The newly launched Creative Rights in AI Coalition is calling on Government to adopt a set of principles that would become ‘a framework for developing AI policy’. It said this included the need for ‘robust’ protections for copyright control and ‘transparency’ for content creators.
Among the members of the group are the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the Publishers Association, UK Music, the Motion Picture Association and DMG Media, which owns the Daily Mail.
