UK licensing bodies have announced a “pioneering” collective license that will allow authors to be paid for the use of their works to train generative AI models. The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) – which is directed by the Publishers’ Licensing Services (PLS) and the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), representing publishers and authors – will develop the license, set to be the first of its kind in the UK.
