AI is everywhere. Everything needs to be AI. From the turds you flush away to the sweat that moistens your brow, everything has to have an AI component. AI art, music and writing is very similar to that turd but AI companies want to polish that turd, lessen the stink, and to do that they want access to your work – this is a bit after the horse has bolted as all those AI companies trained their AIs by stealing people’s work in the first place – and out government wants to give them access by ignoring our copyright laws. However, before they ignore our copyright laws they are consulting us on what we think is permissible and reasonable – how nice.

The Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society have put together some great guidance along with links to the governments consultation so that you can ensure your voice is heard. It’s quite simple to do. They highlight the important sections and have drafted a response that you can copy, paste and edit to suit your needs. It only took me 5-10 minutes to complete and I strongly urge anyone involved in creativity and anyone who consumes work produced by creatives to complete the consultation.

You can access the consultation response, which includes a link to the consultation, here.
