Template Letter to MP Concerning AI Training

If there's ever a post of mine that you share, make it this one

The UK government is considering allowing copyright exceptions for AI training. Below is a letter I sent to my MP explaining why this is a terrible idea, along with instructions on how to forward it to your own MP

UK proposes letting tech firms use copyrighted work to train AI Consultation suggests opt-out scheme for creatives who don’t want their work used by Google, OpenAI and others

UK Creatives, time to write to your MP, and to the Data Protection Minister, Chris Bryant. (www.gov.uk/government/o...)

He thinks this legislation, with an opt-out, is a win-win. It's absolutely not.

Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story The ultimate underdogs. Jenson Button and Ross Brawn tell Keanu Reeves the incredible, adrenaline-fuelled story of how, for one amazing season, Brawn GP turned F1 on its head.

If you like #F1 I can highly recommend this documentary series that has just popped up on BBC iPlayer (was on Disney+) in the UK:
