The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to recommendation 13 in his Department's policy paper entitled AI Opportunities Action Plan: government response, published on 13 January 2025, what discussions he has had with the (a) Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, (b) creative industries and (c) technology sector on the potential for a copyright cleared British media asset training data set, which can be licenced internationally at scale.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Industrial Strategy outlines important activity the Government is taking to grow our world-leading Creative Industries in clusters across the UK. This builds on the AI Opportunities Action Plan recommendations and includes a proposal for a Creative Content Exchange to become a trusted marketplace for selling, buying, licensing, and enabling permitted access to digitised cultural and creative assets. As part of this, and on an ongoing basis, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology and DSIT officials are actively working with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in engaging with a range of organisations, including from the creative industries and technology sectors.
