The longer the AI / Copyright issue rumbles on, the more it reminds me of the Post Office scandal. It’s the same “the software isn’t the problem, you’re the problem” gaslighting approach

They have this weird flex that allowing AI companies to steal from us will bolster 'innovation' and bring billions in tech money to the country...while not seeing the other side of the coin-mass unemployment in the creative industry and the destruction of so much that makes the UK unique.

The UK government misled the public in the AI & copyright consultation. This calls the legitimacy of the consultation into question.

Even the head of the UK’s AI industry trade group does not think the government should upend copyright law to benefit AI companies.

What is the UK government doing? Who does this benefit except US big tech?

Did AI kill your job? If so, I want to hear about it.

The response to my story on the AI jobs crisis has been overwhelming. I heard from so many people impacted by AI that it made me want to collect and organize these stories to better understand the phenomenon.

The bill must not proceed without these amendments being reinserted. There is no legitimate reason for the government not to require overseas AI companies to adhere to British copyright law if they want to operate in the UK.

Is Keir Starmer being advised by AI? The UK government won’t tell us The UK government's Redbox AI chatbot is being used by thousands of civil servants, but a lack of transparency about exactly how they are using it has experts concerned

🚨 SCOOP: Thousands of civil servants have chatted nearly 45,000 times with a proprietary generative AI system, Redbox. The government won't say what advice they're getting, and how or if those outputs filter into policy. My latest for @newscientist.com www.newscientist.com/article/2478...

Meta is training AI on your data. Users say opting out doesn’t work. Meta promised users that they can opt out of giving access to their social media content for AI training. Some are saying that the exit tool doesn't work.

🇪🇺🚨Facebook/Instagram is restarting training AI on your data🚨🇪🇺

They offer Opt-out, but OPT-OUT doesn't work conceptually!
