Minister accused of cosying up to Big Tech admits that Artificial Intelligence DOES lie
The Technology Secretary yesterday admitted that AI is 'not flawless' – but defended snubbing attempts to beef-up copyright protections. Peter Kyle acknowledged the fast-emerging technology 'does lie' as he insisted the Government would 'never sell downstream' the rights of artists in the UK. He also admitted 'mistakenly' saying his preferred option on AI and copyright was requiring rights-holders to 'opt out' of their material being used by Big Tech. Sir Elton John last week described the situation as an 'existential issue'. He has also branded the Technology Secretary 'a moron'. Mr Kyle has been accused of cosying up to Big Tech chiefs, meeting with Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta – Facebook 's owner – ten times in little more than three months. The Government is locked in a standoff with the House of Lords, which demands artists be offered immediate copyright protection as an amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill. Without this, the new law would hand a copyright exception to firms developing AI. Critics warn the Government's proposed 'opt out' system would allow the current 'Wild West' set-up, in which copyrighted material can be 'scraped' from the internet to 'train' AI models, to continue. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Kyle said: 'I mistakenly said [the opt-out clause] was my preferred option... I've now gone back to the drawing board on that.' When asked about the risk of AI producing unreliable content, Mr Kyle said: 'AI is not flawless... AI does lie, as it's based on human characteristics.' The Government has said it will address copyright issues after the 11,500 responses to its consultation on AI's impact have been reviewed, rather than in what it has branded 'piecemeal' legislation such as the Lords' amendment. UK film industry jobs at risk in tech revolution By Daily Mail Reporter The use of AI in the UK screen sector risks jobs, copyright breaches and creative integrity, a report has warned. The British Film Institute report, which analysed how the sector is using the technology, warned the industry must safeguard human creative control, with job losses likely as roles are replaced by AI. It warned that the 'primary issue' is the use of copyrighted material – such as film and TV scripts – in the training of AI models, without payment or the permission of rights-holders. The issue has been highlighted by the Mail's 'Don't let Big Tech steal it ' campaign, which calls for the Government to protect the UK's creative genius. Rishi Coupland, the BFI's director of research and innovation, said: 'AI could erode traditional business models, displace skilled workers and undermine trust in screen content.'

Coronation Street star welcomes second baby with unique and 'beautiful' name
Rebecca Ryan, who played Lydia Chambers on the cobbles, has given birth to her second child with husband Dan. Coronation Street's Rebecca Ryan has given birth to her second child. The former cobbles star, known for her role as Lydia Chambers, shared the delightful arrival of her newest daughter with husband Dan Acram. The soap actress announced the heartwarming news on Instagram, two years after their first child Aurora was born. She introduced her bundle of joy to her followers with a sweet reveal - and an even sweeter, stand-out moniker. "Introducing the newest member of my little girl gang, the adorable Oriana," Rebecca, 34, wrote. The name Oriana shares a Latin root with Aurora and is linked to the Latin meaning for gold, 'aurum', and dawn or sunrise, 'oriens'. Her brother Jack, who also appeared in the ITV soap as Jacob Hay, raced to share his delight in the comment section, gushing: "Proof that the first time wasn't a fluke, you make the most beautiful babies." Congratulatory messages poured in from Rebecca's Corrie colleagues, including Sally Carman who raved: "She's beautiful! Congratulations to you both!" and Elle Mulvaney who added: "congratulations she is beautiful." The mum-of-two also shared an adorable Instagram snap of Dan and Aurora carrying Oriana out of hospital in a car seat with the caption: "Family," followed by a pink love heart. Van Morrison's 'Days Like This' played over the Story. Rebecca has showcased her talent across various popular series such as Waterloo Road, Casualty, and Shameless. Prior to giving birth, she documented her pregnancy journey online with snapshots depicting her growing bump. "Sleeps overrated anyway, here comes baby No.2," she wrote in her latest pregnancy announcement. The touching post was followed by a red heart emoji. Rebecca and her husband have been eagerly showing off their firstborn daughter on social media since she arrived in 2023. Last year, Rebecca delighted followers with charming snaps of her darling girl celebrating her first birthday. Taking to Instagram, Rebecca wrote: "My darling girl Aurora, where has this year gone? "The immeasurable joy and love you have brought into my life is something I will be forever thankful for. "Your cheeky smile lights up every room, and I just love watching you grow and change every single day. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Happy 1st birthday my girl." The arrival of a second child will add another member to Rebecca's expanding clan, which features her accomplished sibling, also known for his soap work. Audiences were surprised to hear that Rebecca and Jack were siblings when she joined the cast of the beloved British soap shortly after Jack began playing Jacob. Even the showrunners were taken aback when they discovered that the two were related upon casting them as principal stars. Reflecting on the reaction, Rebecca told The Mirror: "Nobody at 'Coronation Street' had any idea. "When I joined, I'd be talking to people and say, 'Oh, yeah, my brother works here'. And they'd go, 'Really, who's your brother? What? Jack!' "It's a dream come true to be working on the show at the same time, but it's a total coincidence." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
