The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of copyright law to ensure that creators are remunerated for the use of their work in training AI tools.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government published a consultation on Copyright and AI in December 2024.

Through this consultation, the Government aims to ensure that right holders in the creative industries can control and be remunerated for the use of their work, while supporting the development of world-leading AI models in the UK.

The Government recognises that this is a complex area and welcomes all views and evidence to help shape its thinking.

The consultation closes on 25 February.
