Musicians release silent album to protest UK's AI copyright changes

Musicians in the UK released a silent album as a protest against recent changes to the country's copyright rules related to artificial intelligence. The action is meant to draw attention to the wider problem: creative industries globally are grappling with the legal and ethical implications of AI models that, after being trained on popular works, can produce new output without necessarily paying the original creators. Artists, songwriters and other creators say these practices risk their income and control over their work. Supporters of the protest are asking lawmakers to ensure fair compensation and clearer rules for AI training, while industry groups and officials debate how to balance innovation with creators' rights.
