"AI may cause the most dramatic and sustained economic boom of all time."

AI will make the world "way wealthier" and lead to a "productivity boom."

AI is an "amplifier of human intelligence" and will help the economy thrive.

AI will enable "universal high income" in place of "universal basic income."

"AI may become the heart of future economic growth in the coming decades."

AI harms could include "disrupting economies."

AI could "disrupt job markets."

"AI and technological unemployment" are the "biggest problem we face" from an "economic point of view."

"The moment superintelligent AI emerges, the human economy will end."

Will AI Bring Economic Risks?

"[T]here will be far greater jobs" thanks to AI and "the jobs of today will get better."

AI will probably "take over a lot of jobs," but could also "create new kinds of jobs"

"[W]e might witness the creation of a massive new unworking class."

AI "is not going to put a lot of people out of work permanently" but work will change.

AI might take away more than just "drudge work."

"AI software will be in direct competition with a lot of people for jobs."

"Automation and AI will take away pretty much all of our jobs."

Eventually, "AI will be able to do everything" and jobs will exist only for "personal satisfaction."

Will AI Replace All Jobs?

Equity general secretary Paul Fleming stated that 90% of TV and film production operates under these agreements, with over three-quarters of artists working on them being union members. He said the workforce is willing to significantly disrupt production unless they are respected.

Negotiations between Equity and Pact, the trade body representing the majority of UK film and TV production companies, have been ongoing for 18 months. While progress has been made on protections around digital replicas, the use of performance data to train AI systems remains a sticking point.

Pact stated that the majority of productions do not scan cast, and when scanning occurs it is typically for editing or special effects purposes. During negotiations, Pact offered Equity terms on AI consistent with those in place in other countries.

The UK Government's public consultation on copyright and AI received more than 11,500 responses. Just 3% of respondents supported the Government's preferred opt-out model, while 88% said copyright laws should be strengthened to require licensing agreements in all cases.

Ed Newton-Rex, a former AI developer who now leads the non-profit Fairly Trained, described the consultation result as an overwhelming repudiation of the Government's preferred option. Owen Meredith of the News Media Association said the Government must definitively rule out any new copyright exception.
