Photos: File

Legendary musician Sir Elton John has joined forces with over 400 fellow artists to voice growing concerns over copyright protection in an era increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The group has formally appealed to the U.K. government to take legislative action that ensures creators’ rights are upheld in the face of advancing technology.

The collective, which includes high-profile names such as Paul McCartney, Coldplay, and Dua Lipa, sent a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, urging immediate intervention to safeguard the creative industries. The appeal comes just days ahead of a pivotal vote on the issue in the House of Lords, scheduled for Monday, May 12.
