The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to help protect intellectual property rights in the training of AI models.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government recently consulted on the use of copyright material in AI model development.

The Government is currently analysing responses to that consultation, to help inform policy development. The Government will continue to engage extensively on this issue and proposals will be set out in due course.

We have committed to report on progress to Parliament by December.
