PM vows to review AI plans after pop legends speak out

Pop legends Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney are among a large group of music artists raising serious concerns about the impact of AI on copyright, warning that it could leave creatives unable to make a living. The two are responsible for some of the UK’s most enduring music, including “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude” and “Candle in the Wind”.

A consultation on AI has now closed but Sir Keir told journalists during a trip to Washington DC that he will look carefully at responses and have a review before pressing ahead with his plans.
