A group of musicians is hoping the sound of their collective silence speaks volumes to lawmakers in the UK, reports NBC News.

More than 1,000 artists—including Kate Bush, Imogen Heap, Annie Lennox, Cat Stevens, and Hans Zimmer—released a silent album titled "Is This What We Want?” on Tuesday in response to the UK government’s proposed changes to a copyright law.

They argue that changes to the law, proposed late last year, would "allow artificial intelligence [i.e. AI] companies to build their products using other people’s copyrighted work—music, artworks, text, and more"—without a license, according to a website for the album. “The musicians on this album came together to protest this.

The album's track list spells out a sentence: “The British Government Must Not Legalize Music Theft To Benefit AI Companies.”

The album is the latest action from creatives over growing concerns that AI could encroach on their works. While it focuses on British law, concerns over AI's impact on artists' livelihood have been widespread.

Laws regulating AI are sparse, and because generative AI, which can create media from songs to images, is so accessible, many creatives have raised ethical and legal questions over tech companies training their programs on artists’ works.

The album's release came on the closing day of the British government’s public consultation on changing the copyright laws. In December, the left-leaning Labour Party announced that it would begin consulting on AI and shifting copyright laws with the intent of becoming a world leader in AI technology.

As it is currently proposed, the law would allow artists to opt-out of being used for AI learning.

On Tuesday, newspapers in the U.K. ran identical messages titled “Make it fair,” which called for protecting creative industries from AI. Some shared side-by-sides of the British newspaper covers on X.

In a statement to AP, the British government said it was “consulting on a new approach that protects the interests of both AI developers and right holders and delivers a solution which allows both to thrive.” It added that “no decisions have been taken.”
