Debate between Baroness Stowell of Beeston and Lord Kennedy of Southwark

Monday 11th November 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, shall we hear from the former Leader of the House next? Then we will hear from the Cross Benches.

[Baroness Stowell of Beeston (Con)]

I am very grateful to the noble Lord. Copyright clearly affects a lot of different sectors, but given the value of real-time news to the AI platforms, particularly in the production of services and products that they offer to consumers, what steps are the Government taking to ensure that there is a mutually beneficial deal between the platforms and news organisations, so that we can safeguard the content that will be so important to the continuing advancement of this technology?
