In a recent interview, Paul McCartney criticized proposed UK copyright law changes, warning they could lead to AI companies misappropriating artists' creations. He emphasized that creators should control their work and receive fair compensation. The government's consultation, aimed at balancing AI access and creator rights, has faced criticism from artists, including McCartney, who argue it diminishes their control and creativity. His concerns reflect broader industry fears about AI's impact on the arts, as the Creative Rights in AI Coalition forms to defend creative protections. The debate continues as the UK aims to lead in AI technology while protecting its creative sector.
