The Publishers Association, Publishers' Licensing Services, Independent Publishers Guild, Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society, Association of Authors’ Agents and the Society of Authors have joined the Creative Rights In AI Coalition which launched today. 

This is a critically important time for creators and rights holders. The threat to the creative community from the use of copyright-protected content in the training of LLMs without transparency, permission and fair compensation is significant. The Creative Industries in the UK earn over £100 billion annually. Protecting copyright and building a dynamic licensing market that takes into account the creative as well as tech sectors must be a priority as a path to success and growth.

The government must ensure the strength of the UK’s copyright regime is maintained so the creative industries can continue to thrive.  We are extremely pleased to support the launch of the Creative Rights in AI Coalition on behalf of all the creators and rights holders our members represent and publish and indeed would encourage everyone in our industry to support this vital campaign.
