Journal du Net reports on a highly contested draft law in the United Kingdom that aims to update copyright rules in the context of artificial intelligence. The proposal includes exceptions for text and data mining by AI systems, which many artists and rights holders argue would weaken their protections and economic rights.

Critics say the bill, if adopted, would legalize the use of copyrighted content for AI model training without explicit consent. The government claims it aims to stimulate innovation and keep the UK competitive in AI development. The proposal has provoked a wave of protests from authors and creative industry associations.
