Blair Institute sides with big tech over AI copyright
Briefly

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change advocates for the UK government to adopt exceptions to copyright rules for text and data mining (TDM) to enhance machine learning. This approach aims to foster advancements in the AI sector while providing an opt-out option for content creators. The report suggests that the incorporation of copyrighted materials aligns with legal and economic frameworks necessary for the country's technological leadership, despite concerns from artists and content creators about their rights and compensation.
The report authors argue that a TDM exception with opt-out is beneficial, balancing legal, economic, and geopolitical interests for the UK’s AI advancement.
The Blair Institute's report suggests that restricting AI models from learning from available online content is akin to prohibiting knowledge workers from benefiting from information.
