Honestly, I’d like the UK to go heavily in favour of data mining. I think a lot of copyright holders are just trying a money grab because AI is a rapidly growing industry

Hi there !
It's simple - personal data are better version of "copyright data" so both should be used only after agreement.
Most likely with one time or perpetual payment(s) and contract renegotiation and cancelation rights.
It's realy such simple.
Thing like femous actor or actress wanting to sell rights to face. And "small plain people" faces are not worth paing ? Then no right to use it.
And same with every single word, finger moving or public apparence.
Edit:
Read some Gibson.

This seems to be the preferred model of the government. I hate the way "opt-out" has become the default. It feels like the result of the permissive "ask for forgiveness, not permission" model that's become the standard for digital stuff and I think it's fundamentally wrong, particularly here. It allows people to extract value from something someone else has made without their knowledge and without appropriate recompense.
