THE “clock is ticking” to implement regulation that prevents tech bosses from exploiting creative workers, the TUC warns today.
The union federation is publishing an artificial intelligence (AI) manifesto for creative workers, ranging from artists, writers and journalists to teachers and academics, as the government consults on proposals for a copyright and AI framework.
The manifesto stresses the need to step up efforts to safeguard Britain’s £125 billion creative industries and ensure fair protections for creative workers, who are also found in sectors such as education, producing text, image, video and sound content.
Challenges from the unscrupulous misuse of AI to steal actors’ voice and physical likenesses is being met with a firm union response, writes LYNDA ROOKE
The NUJ is calling on the trade union movement to challenge the power of tech giants and resist cuts to public service broadcasting, with the future of quality, accessible journalism at stake, says LAURA DAVISON
Trade unions need to protect creative rights as well as jobs against the negative impacts of AI, argues ZITA HOLBOURNE
