Tony Blair Institute AI copyright report sparks backlash

The Tony Blair Institute (TBI) issued a report calling on the United Kingdom to leadership in the complex intersection of the arts and Amnesty International.

According to the report, entitled “Restore copyright: How the UK can be a global pioneer in the arts and Amnesty International”, the world race for cultural and technological leadership is still ready to seize, and the United Kingdom has a golden opportunity to take the initiative.

The report confirms that countries that adopt change and harness the strength of artificial intelligence in creative ways will set technical, aesthetic and organizational standards for others to follow up.

With the highlight of that we are in the midst of another revolution in the media and communication, the report notes that artificial intelligence disrupts how textual, visual, and distribution content is created and experienced, such as printed press, gramovon, and the camera that occurred before.

The report says: “Artificial intelligence will enter into a new era of interactive and dedicated actions, in addition to a counter -revolution that celebrates everything that cannot be artificial intelligence,” the report says.

However, away from the indication of the end of human creativity, TBI suggests that artificial intelligence will open “new ways to be original”.

The impact of the artificial intelligence revolution is not limited to creative industries; It is felt in all areas of society. Scientists use artificial intelligence to accelerate discoveries, and are used by health care providers to analyze X -ray images, and are used by emergency services to determine homes damaged by earthquakes.

The report stresses that these crossed developments are just the beginning, as future artificial intelligence systems have become increasingly able, and are nourished by developments in computing power, data, typical structure, and talent access.

The UK government expressed its ambition to be a global leader in Amnesty International through the plan of artificial intelligence opportunities, which Prime Minister Kiir Starmer announced on January 13, 2025. For its part, TBI welcomes the ambition of the UK government, saying that “if it is properly designed and published, human animals can healthy and more exciting,”.

However, the rapid spread of Amnesty International across sectors raises urgent political questions, especially with regard to the data used to train artificial intelligence. The UK copyright law is currently being applied to training artificial intelligence models, where the discussion is often framing as a “zero game” between artificial intelligence developers and rights holders. TBI argues that this framework “distorts the nature of the challenge and the opportunity in front of us.”

The report confirms that “bold policy solutions are necessary to provide all parties with legal clarity and open investments that stimulate innovation, create job opportunities and economic growth.”

According to TBI, artificial intelligence offers opportunities for creators – not to use it in various fields of podcast to filmmaking. The report draws similarities with previous technological innovations – such as printing and Internet printing press – which was initially met with resistance, but eventually led to societal adaptation and prevailing human creativity.

TBI suggests that the solution does not lie in clinging to the laws of voices that are outdated, but in allowing them to “develop with technological change” to remain effective in the era of artificial intelligence.

The UK government has suggested an exception to text texts and data with the option to cancel the subscription to rights holders. While TBI looks at this as a good starting point for the interests of the interests of stakeholders, it recognizes the “important challenges of implementation and enforcement” with which it comes, and extends to the legal, technical and geopolitical dimensions.

In the report, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change “assesses the advantages of the UK government’s proposal and defines a comprehensive policy framework to make it work in practice.

The report includes recommendations and examines new forms of art that will come out of artificial intelligence. It also contradicts the dispute between the holders of rights and developers on copyright, the broader effects of copyright, and the dangerous obstacles facing the suggestion of the extraction texts in the United Kingdom.

Moreover, the Tony Blair Institute explores the challenges of managing the subscription cancellation policy, implementation problems with the cancellation of subscriptions, making the cancellation of subscriptions useful and accessible, and addressing the problem of spread. Abstracts of artificial intelligence and the problems they provide in relation to identity are also treated, as well as defensive tools as partial solution and solution to licensing problems.

The report also seeks to clarify the criteria related to human creativity, address digital watermarks, and discuss uncertainty about the impact of obstetric artificial intelligence on the industry. It proposes the establishment of a center for artificial intelligence and creative industries and discusses the risks of judicial review, the benefits of the reward scheme, and the target tax benefits on Internet service providers to increase the center’s financing.

However, the report faced strong criticism. Ed Newton-Rex, CEO of Adel Company, has raised several concerns about Bluezki. These fears include:

• The report repeats the “misleading claim” that the Copyright Law in the current UK is not certain, which Newton Rex confirms is not the case.
• The suggestion that the subscription cancellation scheme would give those with rights more control over how to use their misleading business. Newton-Rix argues that the license is currently required under the law, and therefore the transition to the subscription cancellation system will actually reduce control, because some rights holders will definitely miss the cancellation of the subscription.
• The report is similar to machine learning training (ML) on human learning, and it is a comparison that Newton-Rix finds horrific, given the various expansion of the two.
• The report claims that artificial intelligence developers will not achieve long -term profits from training in people’s work, as Newton Rex refers to the important funding collected by companies such as Openai.
• Newton-Rex suggests that the report uses Strawman’s arguments, such as noting that the obstetric artificial intelligence may not replace all paid human activities.
• One of the main criticisms is that the report overlooks data that shows how to replace artificial intelligence with the demand for human creative labor.
• Newton-Rex also criticizes the proposed solutions to the report, specifically the proposal to create an academic center, note that “no one is asked.”
• Moreover, it highlights the proposal to impose taxes on every family in the United Kingdom to finance this academic center, on the pretext that this will put the financial burden on consumers instead of artificial intelligence companies themselves, and revenues will not go to creators.

In addition to these criticisms, the British novelist and author Jonathan Ko indicated that “the five authors participating in this report on publishing rights, artificial intelligence, and the arts are all from the science and technology sectors. Not one artist or one of them.”

While the report issued by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change supports the government’s ambition to be the leader of Amnesty International, it also raises important political questions – especially on the law of copyright and artificial intelligence training data.
