The UK government is set to consult on a scheme that allows AI firms to use existing musical works to train their models.

Paul McCartney said proposed changes to copyright laws that would allow AI developers to use content will make it difficult for artists to make money.

Two of Britain's leading music icons, Elton John and Paul McCartney, urged the UK government on Sunday to protect creative artists from AI.

Paul McCartney cautions that AI could exploit artists unless UK copyright reforms are enacted. He stresses the need for protections to ensure creators are compensated, as tech giants may otherwise profit.

"Somebody's getting paid, so why shouldn't it be the guy who sat down and wrote 'Yesterday'?" the former Beatle said.

English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney urged the British Government to not make any changes to the copyright laws in the U.K. since many different artificial intelligence (AI) companies could rip off artists in the music industry.

McCartney and Elton John speak out against the UK government’s AI proposal, fearing it could harm creativity in music.
