Critics of the idea fear that it will make it more difficult for artists to maintain control of their work and will undermine the creative industries of Great Britain. Elton John And Paul McCartney belong to those who have spoken against the plan.
The protest album contains “almost silence,” said composer and AI developer Ed Newton-Rex, who organized the album. The 12 tracks consist of recordings of empty studios and performance spaces, “to symbolize what we expect will happen if the government’s proposals go through.”
“It is a mix of artists that everyone has heard and, you know, and many musicians who are not known names,” he told the Associated Press. “And I think that is really important, because this problem will influence us all.”

The titles of the 12 tracks games: “The British government May not legalize music theft to benefit AI companies. “
Winsts are served on the charity of the musicians help musicians.
“The government’s proposal would hand over the life’s work of the musicians of the country to AI companies, so that those companies can exploit the work of musicians to surpass them,” said Newton-Rex.
“It is a plan that would not only be disastrous for musicians, but that is completely unnecessary,” he said. “The UK can be leaders in AI without throwing our leading creative industries under the bus.”
The government of the British Center-left Labor Party government says that the UK wants to make the UK a world leader in AI. In December it announced a consultation about how copyright legislation can enable makers and correct holders to exercise and request compensation for the use of their works for AI training “, while also ensures that” AI developers Easy access to a wide range of high -quality creative content. “The consultation closes on Tuesday.
