Government delivers update on AI and copyright progress 

This week, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology made a statement in Parliament providing an update on the government’s progress on copyright and AI. 

This statement was delivered in response to commitments made during the passage of the Data Bill, following sustained engagement from the Make It Fair campaign

The Secretary of State reiterated the government’s position that any approach must support growth and innovation while also protecting the creative industries. She highlighted the lack of international consensus, referenced the government’s ongoing technical working groups and stakeholder engagement, and confirmed the intention to publish an economic impact assessment next year. 

The PPA has secured representation on the government’s technical working group on licensing and is working closely with members to advocate for transparency requirements as a means of supporting the growth of the emerging AI licensing market.
