A week ago, 70 people came together for the Creators Emergency Summit. We heard from speakers across creative industries, law, academia, tech and campaign groups - all driven to find solutions to securing creators’ rights and livelihoods, as unhindered AI continues to harm both. Photos © Ozzy Nada

As the UK Government publishes long-awaited reports on AI and copyright today, we are concerned by the effect that the Government's prolonged uncertainty will have on creators' rights and livelihoods. Full CRA response: www.creatorsrightsalliance.org/latest-news/...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

"In fear of AI’s jobs impact, can we enhance human labour or are we bystanders in its erosion?” This was the question posed by the UK's AI Minister. So far for creators, the latter is seeming more accurate. Our full response to the Minister's speech: www.creatorsrightsalliance.org/latest-news/...

1 in 3 creators jobs lost to AI according to new research out today. Creators are losing income and having their work stolen across every creative discipline, and the situation will only get worse without urgent action. Read here: www.ism.org/news/ism-lau...

We need real innovation - not exploitation. When AI is trained on stolen creative works, everyone loses. Instead of culture, art, writing, and music, all we'll be left with is static and silence. #StealingIsntInnovation www.stealingisntinnovation.com

Today we responded to the Government's consultation on the AI Growth Lab. We agree with the Govt that IP rights should not be modified or dis-applied in the Lab. The damage done to creators would be irreparable and irreversable. Read more here: www.creatorsrightsalliance.org/latest-news/...
