Artificial Intelligence: Intellectual Property
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the provisions enabling AI Sandboxes in the Regulating for Growth Bill will include protections for UK Intellectual Property to ensure that it cannot be suspended to allow experimentation in relation to technologies such as AI.
Answered by Blair McDougall
The AI Growth Lab, enabled through the Regulating for Growth Bill, will support the safe testing of AI-enabled products and services by allowing, in limited and controlled circumstances, temporary modifications to certain regulatory requirements that may inhibit innovation or growth. The Government has been clear that it is not intended that these powers will apply to intellectual property. Existing UK intellectual property protections will remain fully in place and will not be suspended for the purposes of the AI Growth Lab.
