The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department has made an assessment of the differential economic impact of the proposed copyright exceptions for AI training in each creative sector.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government published a summary assessment of options alongside the consultation on copyright and AI.

The Government recognises that this is a complex area and welcomes further evidence on the economic impacts of its proposals on creative sectors as part of the consultation.

The Government’s priority now is to review the evidence from the consultation which will inform its response.
