Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the introduction of requirements for developers of generative AI systems available in the UK to publish information about training data sources.

Information about how AI developers train their models, including the content and data they use, can help developers demonstrate their compliance with copyright law and help right holders enforce their rights. Currently, developers take a varied approach to transparency, though requirements in other countries are beginning to support greater consistency.

On March 18, we published a report and Impact Assessment on AI and copyright, as required under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. As part of this, we committed to a programme of work to help right holders control and license their work. This will include working with a range of industry and other experts to develop best practice on input transparency.
