Artificial Intelligence: Copyright

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to their consultation on copyright and artificial intelligence (CP1205), what analysis they have conducted which shows that the current copyright framework has held back AI adoption.

Answer

The Government has engaged stakeholders at Ministerial and official level about these issues.

We have heard that the current copyright framework makes it difficult for creators to control whether their works can be used in AI training, and to seek payment. And that it also creates uncertainty and risk for firms seeking to develop or deploy AI in the UK.

A consultation on Copyright and AI was published in December 2024 seeking views on how to create clarity in this area, to promote growth and investment in both the creative industries and AI sector.

The consultation closes on 25 February.
