As we continue to campaign for a fair AI ecosystem that protects the value of human creativity, we stand united with the creative sectors to support the #MakeItFair campaign.
Crispin Hunt, President of the PRS Members’ Council, and multi-platinum selling songwriter, said: “This is a pivotal moment. Creators are by no means anti-AI, but we cannot sit by while big tech companies attempt to tear apart the copyright protections that underpin our livelihoods, purely to maximise their profit margins. It is crucial to get this right, not only for the UK economy, but for the next generation of British songwriters, filmmakers, and artists.”
Björn Ulvaeus, ABBA co-founder, singer songwriter and President of CISAC, the global confederation representing over 5 million creators and songwriters: “There is no way we can or should stand against AI. I am using AI models myself, and these are wonderful tools that can enhance creativity. But this progress must never come at the expense of creators’ rights. And this is not just an ethical issue, it’s economic good sense because the whole concept of copyright has immense impact on culture, jobs and the economy. We can’t let that be watered down by poor regulation of AI”.
