The Times has published my letter, co-authored with Dr Mathilde Pavis, on UK government policy on Copyright and AI Training Data. Ministers should listen to ethical AI developers who license data from creative artists, not Big Tech that insists on 'scraping' the internet to seize data illegally.

Thank you for posting this! And thank you to my wonderful video essay peeps! 💖
