The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of IP theft on AI innovation.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The UK is consistently rated as having one of the best IP systems in the world, allowing innovators to protect their IP and seek remedy through the courts when it is infringed.

We are not aware of widespread concerns about the potential impact of IP theft on the AI sector but welcome reports of any instances of theft, to inform our awareness on this issue.
