Labour ditches plan to let AI firms use copyrighted works Ministers abandon ‘opt-out’ policy after backlash from Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney over the ‘theft’ of creative material for software training

Good news if true (and also rather a humiliating climbdown from a government that did not just have its thumb on the scales in its consultation but rather its entire body).

Together with @andre-brasil.bsky.social I just published this blog post about @crossref.bsky.social DOI registration practices for @metaror.bsky.social.

We just tipped over 24,000 active organisational members and also reached 165 countries with the addition of the *University of Nouakchott*, bringing representation and governance from *Mauritania* for the first time! A big welcome to them 🇲🇷 🤩

Graphic announcing new language versions of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. The image reads “Now available in Arabic · Japanese · Romanian” and “18 languages and growing”. Speech bubbles display greetings in different languages, including “Salut”, “こんにちは” (Japanese), and “مرحبا” (Arabic), on a light background with abstract line patterns in purple and yellow.

🌍 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐜, 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧
Hello | مرحبًا | こんにちは | Salut

With these new translations, the Declaration is now available in 𝟏𝟖 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬, supporting engagement with open research information across regions and contexts.

Sure, but in the UK the PACE Act and GDPR means the Police have to go through legal channels to request footage. What I'm saying is that can easily change, especially if your Goverment/Agencies do not respect laws. Probably best to just not have the tech at all.

Yep, it’s happening. As predicted.

All done with the tacit approval of the @royalsociety.org, an organisation that has sadly lost its way and yet still claims to speak for the scientific community. It doesn't speak for me.

Corrections, biases, and humility in science: Tuan V. Nguyen escaped Vietnam in 1981 as part of the mass “boat people” exodus of refugees, taking to dangerous waters just a few months after his older brother tried the same and disappeared. Today, he's a professor and bone researcher in Australia.
