We fully support @TheWritersGuild and @ALCS_UK in their efforts to protect writers' copyright from the serious threat posed by AI. A recent report by WGGB and ALCS found that 60% of the 332 authors surveyed said their work had been used to train AI large language models without their permission or payment.
We were in Parliament twice this week, including for the launch of a new Broadcasting, Entertainment and Arts Unions All Party Parliamentary Group
WGGB President Jack Thorne spoke about copyright + AI, access to the arts + the importance of investing in creators

Think putting a © on your work is enough to protect it? Think again.
A copyright symbol shows that you claim copyright - but, by itself, it doesn’t provide independent evidence of what you created, when you created it, or what your original work contained.
Your work deserves stronger protection.
The Script Vault provides a secure, independent record of your work, helping you establish evidence of what you submitted and when.

Did you know? In a copyright dispute, the burden of proof is on you to show when your script was created. Our automated registration securely archives your work for up to 25 years, giving you complete legal peace of mind. 🔒 thescriptvault.com

This is great news. A brilliantly written play by @mrJamesGraham which deserves to be seen by as many young people as possible.
