The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department has made a recent assessment of the potential impact of the copyright regime for text and data mining on the (a) AI sector, (b) creative industries and (c) wider economy.

Answered by Feryal Clark

Greater certainty over copyright and AI would support growth in both the creative and AI sectors.

The Government will launch a consultation soon on a package of measures to address copyright and AI issues. This will seek views and evidence of potential impacts on the AI sector, the creative industries, and the wider economy.
