Artists say that legal reforms run by Prime Minister Keir Starmer provide the country’s musicians for free for artificial intelligence companies.

More than a thousand musicians have released a joint album called Is This What We Want. The twelve “songs” of the album form a message in their names that says that the British government should not legalize the stealing of music for the benefit of artificial intelligence companies.

The songs contain silence and a slight rumble, for example from recording studios and stage.

The message of the album is that artists will soon be able to undertake if their music is given free of charge to artificial intelligence companies.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to invest in the development of artificial intelligence in their country and has proposed relaxation in the copyright law. The proposed changes would allow artificial intelligence developers to train their models with all material they have legal access. The reform would require the artist to actively prohibit the use of his works so that they are not actually used.

One thousand musicians who responded to the release of the album include Kate Bush and Cat Stevens.

“Let’s hear any more in the music of the future,” Bush asked during the release of the album.

“No need to throw musicians under the bus”

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John and Paul McCartney On Monday, they published an article on the subject of The Times. They say that copyright law is one of the most important reasons why artists live in Britain. The writing was signed by 35 other artists, including Bush, Dua lipa and Ed sheeran.

Public consultation with a law change ends on Tuesday.

The British government spokesman said that the current copyright and artificial intelligence system prevents the creative sectors, the media and the artificial intelligence sector to “reach its full potential”.

– We have interacted closely with these areas throughout the process and continue to do so. No decisions have been made, the spokesman said.

The founder of Fairly Traded, a certifying company, who is a certified company, is the founder Ed Newton Rexin According to Britain, Britain can be the leader of artificial intelligence “without throwing world -class creative areas under the bus”.

“The government’s proposal would give the country’s musicians a life work free to artificial intelligence companies, which would allow the works of these companies to use the works of these companies as their competitor,” Newton-Rex says.
