Google are using Hinton's, Hassabis' and Jumper's Nobel Prizes to defend unlicensed AI training on copyrighted work. This is a huge leap of logic. Neither Nobel Prize awarded for AI work this week was for work that trained on copyrighted creative work without permission. The

Tonight in New York, the Financial Times won the Gerald Loeb Awards in Breaking News for The Collapse of Credit Suisse! Congratulations to Stephen Morris James Fontanella-Khan Brooke Masters Arash Massoudi and Owen Walker on their outstanding achievement.

British MP Caroline Dinenage MP has written a powerful letter objecting to the government's rumoured plan to upend UK copyright law by allowing AI companies to train on copyrighted work without a licence. The govt has said it wants to resolve this issue by the end of the year, and it is

Fabulous reading

Great to see the Financial Times coverage of our APPG on Anti-Corruption & Responsible Tax campaign for fully public registers of beneficial ownership, ahead of the Joint Ministerial Council meeting tomorrow.

wow. Upon Court order, incriminating exhibits were unsealed at 3:30am in an AI lawsuit against Meta. Once past a 'fake privilege,' it appears Zuckerberg approved the use of a highly controversial, pirated dataset. Note OpenAI, too? AI companies with no ethics or guardrails. /1

Alphafold wasn't built with the beach boys, or the contents of BBC iPlayer, it was made using the protein data bank. An asset funded by billions of dollars in public funding, curated by many thousands of human beings. Discoveries like this are not about broad copyright exceptions

If China is the country that we are following for our normative guidance, we may as well pack up and go home.

Great gallery. Sad to hear it's closing.

We really really REALLY need a map of all the tech cash coming into trade bodies and think tanks advocating to take the doors off on copyright. And MPs, Lords and select committees need to ask for that data before they take meetings with them or take their evidence #MakeItFair

Alphafold is UK based. Other UK startups like Basecamp research are building on that success. “Not only is the dataset better quality, but it's actually sourced correctly with the right permissions around it so that it can be commercialised." sifted.eu/articles/deepm…

A couple of misleading things in this policy paper from the Tony Blair Institute: 1. They suggest the US doesn’t have strict copyright laws. But US copyright laws are strong, and are pretty fair to creators - the ‘fair use’ exception is nuanced, and many people (myself included)

Several misleading claims by Peter Kyle on The Rest Is Politics today to justify his proposed gutting of UK copyright law. 1. “All of the data has already been scraped and used by AI companies because not one of them is domiciled in the UK... so unless you have international

“We’re a new front organisation sponsored by billionaire lunatics and our agenda is to give American tech monopolies everything they ask for. “We use words like industry and economic sovereignty and stick a Union Jack on our posts. But we are lobbying hard to strip British
