Peers vote to defy government over copyright threat from AI

The Guardian 

Peers voted by 221 to 116 on Wednesday to insist on an amendment to force AI companies to be transparent about what material they use to train their models. He added: "We will not let the government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning." Resistance to the changes in the Lords has been led by Beeban Kidron, a cross-bench peer and film director, whose amendments have been repeatedly backed by the upper chamber.
