The UK's Social Market Foundation — sponsored by Anthropic PBC (£10–20k tier), with Google and OpenAI also listed — urges the government to adopt a broad text and data mining exception letting AI firms train on creatives' work without permission, framed as benefiting both AI and creators. Ex-musician ed Newton-Rex called it shameless; the briefing also proposes AI sovereignty budget statements, a National Data Library and faster datacentre build-out.
