The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the proposals within the consultation entitled Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, published on 17 December 2024, on visual artists.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The government’s consultation on Copyright and AI, launched 17 December and closing 25 February, was published alongside an accompanying options assessment. The consultation seeks to gather further evidence on the potential impact on the creative industries of any change to the copyright regime in the context of AI training.

Following the consultation, if legislative changes are needed, a full economic impact assessment will be undertaken.
