Success Beyond The Score

It has been almost four years since generative AI technology was made available to the public. During this time, the severely negative impact it has on the job market and the environment has been proven again and again. However, governments across the world have failed to react appropriately. To this day, human creators whose work has been used to train large language models (LLMs) have no way to corroborate so, and therefore, cannot enforce their ownership rights.

Until 29 October 2026, there is a petition to the UK Parliament seeking to fix this issue. It asks for the introduction of a statutory duty requiring AI developers to disclose their training sources and information. As with all petitions submitted through this channel, if this one gets 10,000 signatures before the deadline, the government will respond to it.

Not all of us, particularly those who are just starting, can afford hiring a professional to take care of that. Even if you have the resources, you still need to know your way around legislation to better communicate with your advisors, protect yourself and your audience.

With all this in mind, on Wednesday 22 April 2026, Millicent will be teaching a FREE webinar via Zoom about legal know-hows for gigging musicians. It is open to everybody who has access to the internet and wants to learn! All you need to do is sign-up following this link.
