With everyone watching Adolescence on Netflix - a reminder that the TikTok algorithm pushed a '13 year old boy' manosphere and Andrew Tate-style 'motivational' videos -- despite the child's profile not seeking any content out AT ALL.

We welcome benefits of rapid innovation in AI, but it doesn't need to be built on stealing others’ work.

We want: 1/ existing copyright law to be enforced, 2/ mutually beneficial partnership with AI firms based on transparency, licensing. A sustainable future for the UK creative sector #MakeItFair

It’s happening across journalism, music, film, TV, books, drama, audio, photography.

Now Labour wants to weaken UK gold standard copyright laws, which helped to grow £125bn creative industries, envy of world.

--> Easier for tech firms to take content without payment / permission.

Growing outcry.

As editors and reporters, we fear for the future of quality journalism - with unlawful scraping of content (theft) by AI firms. #MakeItFair

In A&E, he’s the only psychiatry doctor on duty in the hospital overnight

In his other role, he’s the sole doctor overseeing more than a dozen mental health wards, split between several sites which are 15-minute drives apart

Doing this single-handedly can seem “absurd,” he says
