Renowned British authors Kate Mosse and Richard Osman have criticized the Labour Party’s AI policy, which they claim could undermine the creative industry by allowing AI companies to use artistic works without compensation. Labour leader Keir Starmer’s plan to make the UK a global AI powerhouse includes changes to copyright laws, similar to EU regulations, requiring copyright holders to opt out of data usage. Creatives argue this approach equates to theft and diminishes originality. The government is consulting on balancing AI advancement with creative rights, but authors fear their concerns are being overlooked.
