    The use of AI to enhance actors' accents in the film The Brutalist has made headlines and drawn considerable negatve backlash.

    Away from sensationalist takes and knee-jerk reactions, the response may be less about the use of AI and more about the transparency of where and how it is used.

    Sociologist Dr Jenn Chubb and Law Professor Dr Peter Harrison from the University of York are currently leading research in this very area. They join us o discuss the implications of voice cloning in law and in life.

  • Tax Relief to the Rescue! with Sam Radclyffe of Galatea
    Jan 16 2025

    Ah, the excitement of Tax Return season!

    In this episode, we double down on the joys of Tax. Specifically, we're talking about tax relief in film productions. Why? Because, in a departure from the previous government, Labour recently introduced new rules that mean AI-related costs are subject to tax relief.

    Sam Radclyffe is an Entertainment & Media Rights Executive, Producer and Entrepreneur. We've spoken with Sam before in our episode, "Own your Clone", in his role as founder of Galatea, a Digital Twin Library and Management Company. His multiple professional "hats" give him a broad perspective on the implications of the changes and what they mean for people working in the world of Film production.

  • Plus Ça Change: Will a New Government Bring Change? With Nicola Solomon from the Creators' Rights Alliance
    Jan 1 2025

    Between 2020 and 2024, the UK has had four Prime Ministers and a long running game of Musical Chairs in the relevant government departments. What we still don't have is a unified, coherent policy on AI and Artists' Rights.
    In this episode, our guest is Nicola Solomon, a solicitor, consultant on policy and law in the creative industries and, until recently, the Chair of the Creators' Rights Alliance.
    What progress has she seen in the last few years and what hope has that given her for what might be expected from a Labour government?
    Moreover, what can we as individuals do to make our voices heard?

    Since this episode was recorded in December, the UK government has launched its AI and Copyright Consultation, which will be open until 25th February 2025.
