Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, with reference to their consultation on copyright and artificial intelligence (CP1205), what evidence they used to assess the function of the licensing market as it pertains to copyright data and the training of AI models.
The Government published a consultation on Copyright and AI in December 2024.
This consultation seeks views on proposals which seek to better facilitate licensing agreements between rights holders and AI developers, and whether more should be done to support good licensing practice.
The Government recognises that this is a complex area and welcomes all views and evidence on the function of the licensing market, to help shape its thinking.
The consultation closes on 25 February.
