Sir Elton John and Simon Cowell have backed a Daily Mail campaign to stop AI from exploiting Britain's creative content. They urge the government to rethink plans to relax copyright rules, warning that the changes could harm the UK's £126 billion creative industries and risk destroying jobs. The campaign highlights concerns that the proposals would allow tech giants to use copyrighted material to enhance AI models without compensating creators, benefiting foreign tech companies while threatening the creative sector and the free press. The Mail has called on the government to protect creators' rights and ensure fair compensation for their work.
