Last night LaFour suffered its first parliamentary defeat in the government, because colleagues supported reforms to prevent BIG technology companies from ignoring copyright rules in training AI systems.
Crossbench Peer Baroness Kidron had submitted a series of changes to the data for data (use and access) to make it clear that the 'data collector' tools used by technology companies must adhere to the British copyright legislation.
Supported by the recently formed creative rights in AI Coalition, whose members the Publishers Association, UK Music, the Motion Picture Association and DMG Media are, who is the owner who use it as 'raw material for their products' without crediting the source.
Last night colleagues voted 145 to 126 in favor of a package of changes in the account. Baroness Kidron said her measures would “register when, where and how intellectual property is taken and, crucial, allow makers to understand what has been taken so that they can seek recovery.”
She added that 'hundreds of organizations and many individual law holders look … to see what this house will do in the light of a government proposal that will transfer their hard -earned property to another sector without compensation, and thus their possibility of a creative Life, or a creative life for the next generation '.
De Peer continued: 'The government does not do this because the current law does not protect intellectual property rights, nor because they do not understand the destruction that it will cause, but because they are addicted to the delusion that the best interests and economy of the UK are future corresponding to those of Silicon Valley. '

She said that the non -defending of “the property rights of citizens and wealth makers is astonishing.”
Her amendments were supported by Sir Elton John and Paul McCartney. Sir Elton said last week: 'The wheels are on the move to enable AI companies to roughly ride on traditional copyright laws.
This allows worldwide major technology companies to get free and easy access to the work of artists to train their AI and create competitive music. '
Owen Meredith, head of the Trade Organization of the News Media Association, said that the vote “was a warning for the government against poorly rated plans to weaken our gold standard copyright regime and to transfer copyrighted material Carte Blanche to AI companies.”
