Tech firms urged to pay creators whose work they use

A letter in the Guardian from Barbara Hayes, Tayyiba Nasser, Christian Zimmermann and Paul Seheult argues that technology firms should compensate creators whose work they use, saying such payments could raise up to £300m a year in additional income for UK creators. The letter adds to growing pressure in the UK for licensing and payment schemes as AI companies increasingly train on copyrighted books, art and other material without explicit permission.
Why now: Debate over AI companies using copyrighted creative work without payment is intensifying in the UK.
