The Government recognises the Committee’s call to implement a sustainable framework in this area. We believe both in human-centred creativity and the potential of AI to unlock new creative frontiers and agree that all will benefit from greater clarity over copyright. Finding a balance between these concerns is a complex matter. The application of copyright law to AI is disputed in the UK and around the world. Addressing uncertainty about the copyright framework for AI in the UK is a priority for DSIT and DCMS Ministers. As the Committee notes, any resolution to these issues may require Government intervention. That is why the Government intends to launch a consultation soon that will aim to promote continued growth in the UK AI sector and creative industries. The Government remains committed to engaging closely with stakeholders on this issue, building on recent roundtables that were held between DSIT and DCMS Ministers with representatives from the creative industries and AI sector. As this is a global issue, international cooperation will be crucial, and the Government is committed to working closely with international partners to push progress in this area.
