President Trump fired the head of the Copyright Office, causing worries about fairness to artists.

In the United Kingdom, music companies warned that new AI training policies could hurt artist rights and make songs less valuable. At the same time, UK creators pushed for new laws forcing AI companies to reveal what data they use to train their systems.

A big AI art festival wrapped up in England, showing how tools like image generators and music makers are changing creative work. Over 1,000 people joined workshops to learn AI skills for making movies, paintings, and digital art.
