Protect creators' rights: require AI firms to disclose training data

Open for signatures 5,629 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask the Government to introduce a statutory duty requiring AI developers to disclose the copyrighted works used to train generative AI in enough detail for creators to identify use of their work, enforce their rights, negotiate licences and be fairly paid.
Creators need clear rules and regulations that ensure their work is used with consent, proper licensing and fair remuneration. They need transparency about how their work is being used in AI training, accountability from AI companies, and legal protections that respect creative rights. This isn't about rejecting technology, but about establishing a framework that makes AI development fair and sustainable for the creative industries.
