As the UK Government publishes long-awaited reports on AI and copyright today, we are concerned by the effect that the Government's prolonged uncertainty will have on creators' rights and livelihoods. Full CRA response: www.creatorsrightsalliance.org/latest-news/...

Please spread the word.

1 in 3 creators jobs lost to AI according to new research out today. Creators are losing income and having their work stolen across every creative discipline, and the situation will only get worse without urgent action. Read here: www.ism.org/news/ism-lau...
