Fear that ministers have come down too firmly on side of big tech
The government’s plan to use AI technology to “turbocharge growth” in the economy across the coming decade have been criticised by screen sector experts, who warn AI could “decimate” the creative industries.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s adoption of the AI Opportunities Action plan, which “mainlines AI into the veins” of the UK, has caused concern among leading voices on AI in the screen sectors who fear the government has come down too firmly on the side of big tech.
They say not enough is being done to prevent AI models from being trained with data that is not ethically sourced, and to protect the rights of creatives.
