Artificial Intelligence: Copyright

Asked by Jo PlattLabour (Co-op)Department for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 31 January 2025UIN 26071

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that proposed copyright exemptions for Artificial intelligence training will lead to inward investment.

Answered by Feryal Clark

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

This consultation is seeking views on how to promote growth and investment in both the creative industries and AI sector - both of which are essential parts of the Government’s Industrial Strategy.

This will help the Government develop an approach which will accelerate growth in the UK for both sectors.

The consultation closes on 25 February.
