Legendary musician Paul McCartney is warning against proposed changes to U.K. copyright law that would allow tech companies to freely train their models

This comes after McCartney and his fellow surviving Beatle Sir Ringo Starr used AI to extract the late John Lennon’s vocals from a demo left behind, to create a new song Now and Then. The song has been billed as The Beatles’ very final song and enjoyed critical praise on its release in 2023, nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Paul McCartney said proposed changes to copyright laws that would allow AI developers to use content will make it difficult for artists to make money.

Two of Britain's leading music icons, Elton John and Paul McCartney, urged the UK government on Sunday to protect creative artists from AI.

Paul McCartney stumped for protections for younger artists against A.I. and against their exploitation by tech giants in a recent BBC interview.

"Somebody's getting paid, so why shouldn't it be the guy who sat down and wrote 'Yesterday'?" the former Beatle said.

English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney urged the British Government to not make any changes to the copyright laws in the U.K. since many different artificial intelligence (AI) companies could rip off artists in the music industry.
