Newton-Rex criticised the socalled 'opt-out' proposal by the British government as unfair burden on creatives, many of whom are unaware of its existance.

“I have run opt-out schemes for AI companies. Even the most well-run opt-out schemes get missed by most people who have the chance to opt out. You never hear about it, you miss the email."
