The Creators’ Rights Alliance has joined the Creative Rights In AI Coalition
A new coalition of rights holders including publishers, authors, artists, music businesses, specialist interest publications, unions, and photographers has called on the government to spur growth in the creative and tech sectors by protecting copyright ahead of an important consultation on AI, expected this week.
Launching today, 16 December 2024, the Creative Rights in AI Coalition has published three key principles for copyright and GAI policy and a statement supported by all member organisations. The coalition is calling on government to adopt the principles as a framework for developing AI policy.
Chair of the CRA, Anna Ganley said “The stakes are high for creators and we need a unified voice to make sure the government ensures the strength of the UK’s copyright regime is maintained so creators can continue to thrive. We are extremely pleased to support the launch of the Creative Rights in AI Coalition on behalf of all the creators our members represent and encourage everyone in our industry to support this vital campaign.”
Seventy-two per cent of respondents said AI companies should be required to pay royalties to the creators of text, audio, or video that they use to train AI models, while 80 per cent said AI companies should be required to make public all the information that their models have been trained upon.
In the statement, the coalition said: “The UK’s world-leading creative and tech sectors put it in a unique position to set a global standard for how both sectors can innovate together and continue to provide high quality services.

“Protecting copyright and building a dynamic licensing market for the use of creative content in building generative AI (GAI) isn’t just a question of fairness: it’s the only way that both sectors will flourish and grow.
“The UK creative industries generate well over £100 billion annually. We have, quite literally, earned the right to have our voice heard. The key to that success, and future growth, is copyright law.”
The coalition’s three principles for AI policy focus on a dynamic licensing market with robust protections for copyright, control and transparency for content creators, and driving growth and innovation in the creative and tech sectors. in building generative AI (GAI) isn’t just a question of fairness: it’s the only way that both sectors will flourish and grow.
