That ultimately proved to be the difference as Gauff, having finally found her serve, raced through the deciding set.
He joins the ranks of high-profile musicians, including Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, and Kate Bush, who are outraged by plans they say would make it easier for AI models to be trained on copyrighted material.Kidron's amendment would force AI companies to disclose what material they were using to develop their programmes, and demand they get permission from copyright holders before they use any of their work.
Highlighting the power differential between the big tech giants in the US and creatives in the UK, Kidron branded the government's plans "extraordinary"."There's no industrial sector in the UK that government policy requires to give its property or labour to another sector - which is in direct competition with it - on a compulsory basis, in the name of balance," she said."The government has got it wrong.
"They have been turned by the sweet whisperings of Silicon Valley who have stolen - and continue to steal every day we take no action - the UK's extraordinary, beautiful and valuable creative output."Silicon Valley has persuaded the government that it's easier for them to redefine theft than make them pay for what they have stolen."
Defending her amendment, the crossbench peer said it was "the minimum viable action from the government" to signal that "UK copyright law is indeed the law of the land".
Otherwise, Kidron said, the Bill was merely a "political gesture" ignoring "widespread theft" of UK copyright and "starving" the creative industry of "the transparency they need to survive".Shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith said: "Labour's botched negotiations have left businesses in limbo and this country simply cannot afford their continuing failure."
The prime minister has been warned he will fail to meet his own target of halving violence against women and girls without significant investment in services, according to two senior government watchdogs.This is the first time Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales Dame Nicole Jacobs and Victims Commissioner for England and Wales Baroness Newlove have written jointly to Sir Keir Starmer.
The pair said victim support services were being "pushed to the brink" by funding cuts and rising costs.The intervention comes ahead of the chancellor's spending review later this month, which is expected to feature cuts to some areas of public spending.
