Elton John has vocally opposed the UK's Data (Use and Access) Bill, which permits Big Tech to train AI on creative works like music and literature without requiring artist consent or payment. He labeled the government plans as 'theft' and expressed concern for young artists lacking resources to combat these corporate giants. John, amidst over 400 other artists, urges for proper copyright protections before AI exploits their work, warning it may lead to a broader loss of creative legacy and income for future generations.
