Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to protect creative industries from the unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI; and what assessment they have made of the risk this poses to the livelihoods of the people behind these works.

The Government supports growth in both the creative industries and the AI sector, recognising the value of human-centred creativity.

This is a complex topic, and we want to take the time to hear stakeholder views and carefully consider the issues and their impacts – including the use of creative works to train generative AI.

The Minister for AI and Digital Government and the Minister for Creative Industries, Arts, and Tourism held roundtables with the creative and AI sectors in September.

DSIT and DCMS continue to engage with stakeholders to inform and develop our approach.
