After having his voice stolen by artificial intelligence, Equity member David Holt has spoken out to @symeonbrown on @Channel4News.
As David says, a legal framework must be put in place to stop AI stealing artists' performances and likeness.

Giving the UKs back catalogue away for free to AI devs @The_IPO, will kill creative output going forward. If all that’s gone before can be recycled, there’s little incentive to commission new work. Talent not able to compete with AI on price. A short sighted, tragic mistake.

The misuse of NDAs must end. If you've been asked - or pressured - to sign one, you can talk to your Union about it.

The use of Artificial intelligence has increased significantly in recent years. From automated audiobooks to digital avatars, AI systems are now replacing skilled professional performers often due to the perception of being cheaper and more convenient.

@EquityUK “Stealing the Show” campaign message is for EVERYONE who puts their voice/work/image out into the digital realm. Ai tech is brilliant. The moral bankrupts and criminals who exploit it must be legislated against, with clarity @The_IPO .

Our VO members are among the small businesses you mention. IVR is the lowest paid area of our industry, with voices often paid £5 per prompt, while companies charge clients 10x that - or more. Our members need support, not cheap headlines. #supportfreelancers 1/2

It doesn't make snappy tabloid copy, but VOs receive a tiny proportion of the fees paid to companies. @AngelaRayner please speak to @EquityUK for the truth about fee skimming, low rates & hamstrung union negotiations. 1/2
Pro VO here. “Sam” will not have been paid 144K . The going commercial rate in the UK for IVR is +/- 10p per word Govt procurement won’t contract freelancers directly , only approved agencies (of size) who mark up enormously. @AngelaRayner #🌹supportfreelancers

In 1937, Prymachenko’s drawings were presented in the International Exhibition in Paris, where she received a gold medal and the blurb of a lifetime from Pablo Picasso: “I bow down before the artistic miracle of this brilliant Ukrainian.” trib.al/j6qz084

In Kyiv a woman knocked down a Russian drone from a balcony with a jar of cucumbers. How did they expect to occupy this country?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
To date, this tweet is the original source for this report and no media outlet has been able to verify the claim, and the user tweeting this has not provided any evidence to back up the claim despite being repeatedly asked.

First you come for @channel4 because you don’t like its reporting of events. Now you come for the BBC because you don’t like its reporting of events. Have you ever considered whether it’s the events themselves that are the problem?
This licence fee announcement will be the last. The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors, are over.
Time now to discuss and debate new ways of funding, supporting and selling great British content. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
