The current proposals mean creators have to 'opt out' of allowing these systems access to their works.

Background
The UK creative industries as a whole bring in billions of pounds worth of revenue into the economy each year. If this proposal is allowed to go through a vast amount of this revenue will be siphoned off to the Silicon Valley tech giants. Potentially there will be no economic model for real artists producing new work to support themselves and very likely spell the end of the UK creative industries.
