Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to address potential copyright issues with generative AI models being trained on protected creative works.

The Government believes that greater certainty over copyright and AI would support growth in both the creative industries and the AI sector.

This is a complex topic, and the Government is taking the time to hear stakeholder views and to carefully consider the issues, including the use of creative works to train generative AI models.

The Government is engaging with stakeholders to inform its approach and will soon be launching a consultation on a package of measures to address copyright and AI issues.
