Best response to this is probably to flag that we are actively part of the Creative Rights in AI Coalition. (and with that i'll reimpose my personal rule of not litigating complex matters on social media! Drop me a line if you'd like to talk more!) www.creativerightsinai.co.uk

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, on this one though, a clarification is merited - it's a misinterpretation to read the report as any way endorsing comics produced by AI. Recognition that it exists and the industry needs to have agency over its impact, yes, but AI generated comics no.

Appreciate but respectfully disagree with the view. But thanks for taking the time to engage constructively.

And it's worth noting that CBUK is an active member of this campaign, which has done great work in heading off the immediate threat of legal changes that would hand creative work over to AI developers: www.creativerightsinai.co.uk

Would probably say 'ready to engage pragmatically' rather than 'supportive of'. Overall take is that AI is a reality that wont go away regardless of how much we may wish it, so best to be in driving seat rather than being driven.

CBUK CX here, rare poster as debate on social media is rarely constructive but feel this merits an important clarification - the excerpt posted here is a description of a measure proposed in the UK Gov's Creative Industries Sector Plan, not a CBUK proposal. Thanks for engaging.

This post is giving me flashbacks to all of the 'the devil will be in the detail' press releases I've written in the past...

It is hard to see why a Cabinet minister would take the risk of standing in and losing this contest. Burgon and Whittome and others on the left of the party don't have a path to 80 MPs to nominate them. So the contest is likely to come down to 3 of the 9 centreleft backbenches named in the middle.
