Guadamuz: UK creatives should back AI training at home
Andres Guadamuz (University of Sussex) · 2025-10 · Proposal · non-binding
Can AI be trained on protected works?
Closer to freely allowed
Loosen UK training rules so creators can actually get compensated
What it says
In an interview, Guadamuz argues UK copyright currently blocks AI training at home, that UK authors mostly miss out on US settlements, and that creators would do better pushing for looser, internationally aligned rules that open the door to compensation. (Interview, not a formal paper.)
A contrarian view: blocking training at home may leave UK creators with nothing.
