To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of an opt-out for AI and copyright on smaller and medium-sized publishing businesses.
Answered by
Feryal Clark
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
The Government published a consultation on Copyright and AI in December 2024.
One of the proposals in the consultation is for a rights-reservation, or “opt-out”, approach to the use of copyright material for AI training. The government wants to ensure that any measures are practical and effective for businesses of all sizes.
Information and evidence is welcomed from all sizes of business, to help shape the Government’s thinking.
The consultation closes on 25 February.
