Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether existing UK copyright law can be effectively applied to the use of copyright works in AI training in the absence of mandatory transparency obligations.

The Government recognises that greater transparency about how AI developers train their models, including the content and data they use, can help right holders enforce their rights.

The Government published a report and impact assessment on AI and copyright on 18 March. It outlines the views it has received on input transparency following its consultation and commits to work with industry and experts to develop best practice.
