The government's proposal to give AI developers an exception to copyright law was hit yesterday after the Commons Culture and Tech Select committees had criticized the plan.
In a joint letter, Labor was warned that the radical idea 'should not be taken over' unless they find a 'technical solution'.
The letter adds that 'a way forward cannot be agreed as quickly as ministers can hope' if it is called on copyright legislation to be maintained so that creatives are paid.
Their entry to the consultation of the government, after an important campaign of the Daily Mail, supported by the greatest stars and industrial leaders in music, art, film and literature, came to a reconsideration.
For the two most important committees that investigate the plan to reflect the call from the mail, it will now be very difficult for work to help it in its current form.
In another damn verdict, the only AI trading organ of Great -Britain also came out against the copyright exception yesterday -and said it would do little to help our AI sector.
Tim Flagg, the Chief Executive of Ukai, said: “The opt-out model would significantly harm the creative sectors to achieve a minimal profit for a handful of global technology companies.”
In addition to their warnings, the boss of a large creative agency will run the risk today to reach the fast-growing influencer sector, which is worth millions for Great Britain. Then Parker, CEO of 84 World, said: “People consider influencers as a niche industry, but it is a global industry of several billions that are affected by this.”

Culture Committee Chairman Dame Caroline Dinenage noted the 'Groundswell of Concern' in the creative industry
Tech companies use news articles, books, films and art to train their AI models, for which publishers and makers say they have to pay.
If they don't, experts warn that it will destroy a £ 126 billion creative industry, who employs 2.4 million people and gives Groot -Britain its cultural super power status.
Nevertheless, the government launched an AI consultation stating that it is in favor of changing British legislation to enable technical platforms to use content without permission, unless the makers cancel '. This puts the burden on the artists and publishers to police theft of their work. As things are outstanding, the work of each maker is automatically protected by copyright.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee and Science, Innovation and Technology Committee have submitted a joint letter to the government's consultation on AI, which was concluded on Tuesday.
Chairman of the Culture Committee, Dame Caroline Dinenage, noted the 'Groundswell of Concern' in the creative industry that say that 'the extent of the threat illustrates that artists face artificial intelligence that the fruits of their hard -earned success without permission'.
Labor's Chi Onurah, the chairman of the Technological Committee, wrote: “This week's headlines have emphasized the urgency to find a way forward.”
They both hit Google and AI and said that it was 'disappointing' that they 'chose to refuse our invitation' to provide evidence. The committees also called for a 'full impact assessment' in their entry and said that there must be 'robust mechanisms' to force compliance with copyright, so that people are compensated if their work is used in AI.
