This government believes creatives should be able to know and control how their content is used by AI firms and be able to seek fair payment. Working alongside DBIST, we will take steps to drive best practice on transparency, and on the use of the mechanisms available to creatives to control their works online. This joint work, set out in the 18 March Report on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, will inform any future potential legislation, if necessary.
