Artificial Intelligence: Copyright

Asked by Jo PlattLabour (Co-op)Department for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 31 January 2025UIN 26074

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of EU rights reservation mechanisms for Artificial intelligence and copyright.

Answered by Feryal Clark

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

This consultation is seeking views on a similar approach to the EU’s, which many AI firms and right holders are already familiar with. However, we recognise that there is more work to do on technical standards and transparency before a rights reservation model can be considered workable for right holders and AI developers alike. We will use responses to the consultation to inform work on this detail and bring forward firm proposals.

The consultation closes on 25 February
