Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment has been made of the potential implications of the judgment in Getty Images v Stability AI for the enforceability of UK copyright against models trained outside the UK; and whether her Department will legislate to address any gap identified.

In March we published a report and impact assessment on AI and copyright, which included consideration of the Getty judgment. The Getty judgment is subject to appeal, and we will consider any further implications following the outcome of that appeal. We are continuing to engage with stakeholders to build our understanding of the issues surrounding creator control and input transparency and whether there is an appropriate role for government in addressing them. We will not rush to legislate until we are confident the approach works for creators, consumers and the wider economy.
