Paul McCartney warns against U.K. copyright changes that could harm artists. He calls for better protections to safeguard creativity. Act now for artists' rights.

Paul McCartney has urged the British government not to make a change to copyright laws that he says could let artificial intelligence companies rip off artists.

During a recent interview, Paul McCartney said he was worried only tech giants would benefit from AI in music unless copyrights were protected.

Two of Britain's leading music icons, Elton John and Paul McCartney, urged the UK government on Sunday to protect creative artists from AI.

Sir Paul McCartney has told the BBC proposed changes to copyright law could allow "rip off" technology that might make it impossible for musicians and artists to make a living.

Paul McCartney said proposed changes to copyright laws that would allow AI developers to use content will make it difficult for artists to make money.

The UK government is set to consult on a scheme that allows AI firms to use existing musical works to train their models.

Paul McCartney cautions that AI could exploit artists unless UK copyright reforms are enacted. He stresses the need for protections to ensure creators are compensated, as tech giants may otherwise profit.

Paul McCartney told the BBC that would make it harder for artists to retain control of their work and undermine Britain's creative industries.
