Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the of legal action against AI companies in the US relating to copyright when issuing government contracts to, or agreeing memorandums of understanding with, AI companies.

The Government keeps relevant global legal and regulatory developments, including live litigation in the US, under review as we develop our approach to copyright and AI. When issuing government contracts or agreeing to memorandums of understanding with AI companies, Government is required to undertake appropriate due diligence and risk assessment on a case-by-case basis.
