Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps she is taking to help support right holders’ control over whether their works are used to train AI models.

Our copyright regime must deliver for British people and businesses. This means helping creative industries to thrive while unlocking the extraordinary potential of AI.

We have consulted on a set of options and continue to seek views on how best to meet our objectives on AI and copyright from stakeholders and experts, including through the technical working groups and Parliamentary working groups.

The government will publish a report on the use of copyright works in the development of AI systems by 18 March. This report will set out the evidence and views we have gathered and our next steps.
