AI and Copyright Consultation Survey for Illustrators |
Introduction
The UK government has launched a major consultation on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence. They are proposing a new copyright exception that would allow organisations to scrape creative works from the internet to train AI systems, even for commercial purposes. This would be permitted unless rights holders actively "opt out" their content (referred to as ‘rights reservation’). At present, there is no proposal for how a standardised opt out model could be implemented or managed.
The creative industries strongly oppose this exception to copyright. We advocate for maintaining robust copyright protections for creators and establishing a fair licensing market for creative works used in AI training.
The Association of Illustrators (AOI) is gathering crucial feedback to inform our response to the consultation. This survey will help ensure illustrators' voices are heard in shaping policies that could significantly impact our industry.
