Synergies between authors and translators have never been stronger, or more important, as evidenced by the presentations of fellow panelists exploring the problems and the endless possibilities. Such a pleasure to hear all angles on the issues.

DACS CEO, Christian Zimmermann, spoke on the importance of how the UK’s intellectual property framework and enforcement mechanisms must ensure creators receive fair remuneration for the use of the use of their works by AI companies.
Replying to @IntAuthors
Christian Zimmerman makes a similar point that in the UK it has been hard to claim substantial copying despite AI generated outputs clearly lifting details and components from artists' works that go beyond what might be expected from users prompts
