💨 Abstract

Sir Elton John criticized the UK Labour government for rejecting a proposal to grant artists more control over how their work is used by AI companies, calling ministers "absolute losers" and expressing betrayal. The government's plan, aimed at boosting the economy, would allow AI firms to use online content without creators' permission. Over 1,000 artists, including Kate Bush and Annie Lennox, have protested, fearing it could rob them of their legacy and income.
