Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to legislate on infringement of copyright arising from the use of artificial intelligence.

The Government consulted on several topics relating to the interaction between copyright and artificial intelligence (AI) This included seeking views on the use of copyright material in AI model development.

The Government is considering all responses to the consultation. Alongside this we launched expert working groups in July, bringing together representatives of the creative, media and AI sectors, and convened a parliamentary working group. Together this will inform next steps.

The Government will continue to engage extensively on this issue, and set out its proposals in due course.
