Sign this ‘Artificial Intelligence’ declaration

PLEASE consider signing this statement on AI and copyright:

The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.

Go to www.aitrainingstatement.org to do so.

This is, as the Freelance understands it, associated with Ed Newton Rex, who is a former Stability AI executive who quit, spoke out for creators’ rights, and founded Fairly Trained.

We expect an announcement from the UK government shortly, and we expect that it will need to be resisted.
