Labour's AI plans 'a total mess' as Starmer is told to 'change course'

Sir Keir Starmer has been warned to 'change course' and protect Britain's world-leading creative industry ahead of a crunch vote in the Commons today.

Labour peers defied the PM this week to push through an amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill that gives artists, writers and creators greater protection from the threat of AI.

But Sir Keir is expected to whip MPs to remove it when the Bill returns to the Commons, despite Britain's creative industries urging him to rethink.

Conservative science, innovation and technology spokesman Alan Mak said: 'Labour's approach to AI and copyright law is a total mess.
