Artificial Intelligence: Labelling

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that proposals for labelling AI-generated content are informed by engagement with visual artists and creators regarding the use of their works.

Answer: On 18 March, we published our report and impact assessment on copyright and AI. This set out where we will do more work with our creative and AI sectors. The Government recognises that labelling AI-generated content can improve transparency for consumers by helping them understand when content has been created using AI. This summer we will establish a taskforce on the labelling of AI‑generated content, which will publish an interim report in autumn 2026. Further details on the taskforce will be set out in due course.
