Discussions between and within the two departments have been ongoing since the General Election, based on the Government’s belief in both human-centred creativity and the potential of technology to open up new creative frontiers. The whole government is committed to ensuring AI development supports, rather than undermines the power of human creativity, innovation and the provision of trustworthy information.
The Secretary of State also intends to meet with counterparts across government to discuss a range of issues to ensure the continued growth of our world-leading creative industries. This will include artificial intelligence models and their impact on the creative industries, which will require close collaboration between the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Intellectual Property Office.

Cancer remains a priority for the Government, and we spend £1.5 billion on health and care research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) each year. Cancer is our biggest area of spend, and in 2022/23 the NIHR spent over £121.8 million on cancer research. This includes significant research on breast cancer risk, screening, and early detection and diagnosis.
While we have not funded research looking into a link between Bisphenol A and breast cancer, we welcome high quality research proposals into any aspect of health and care, including potential cancer risks.
