- Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.

- Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.
If an industry can’t survive without resorting to copyright theft then maybe it’s not a viable business.
Imagine the industries that could exist if only they didn’t have to pay copyright holders. What makes this industry any different?
