English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney urged the British Government to not make any changes to the copyright laws in the U.K. since many different artificial intelligence (AI) companies could rip off artists in the music industry.
McCartney stated that it would be harder for artists to create or write music that remains within their line of genre and claim it as their own once AI has been implemented within the law of copyright guidelines.
The use of AI companies’ tools could affect the line of work in Britain’s creative music industry, wherein no protection will be present for artists who intend on releasing their music and anyone will be able to claim it as their own without any credits or even anything to do with it.
McCartney then emphasized letting these artists receive fair compensation for their hard work and effort instead of letting AI companies take over taking the full credit or compensation.
“The truth is, the money’s going somewhere. When it gets on the streaming platforms, somebody is getting it, and it should be the person who created it. It shouldn’t be some tech giant somewhere.”
Furthermore, the British Government seeks further investigation and adjustments with the alignment of AI companies and tools alongside artists of the industry to balance the coalition between AI and creative producers.
