Notes: Sir Paul, one of the two surviving members of the Beatles, said there was a risk that AI would create a "Wild West" in which artists copyright is not properly protected.

"You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don't own it," he said.

"They don't have anything to do with it. And anyone who wants can just rip it off.

"The truth is, the money's going somewhere. Somebody's getting paid, so why shouldn't it be the guy who sat down and wrote Yesterday?"

He appealed to the government to think again about its plans, saying: "We're the people, you're the government! You're supposed to protect us. That's your job.

"So you know, if you're putting through a bill, make sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists, or you're not going to have them."
