The question concerns the potential impact of proposed copyright exemptions on the creative industries.
What assessment has the Government made of the potential impact on the creative industries of the proposed copyright exemption for text and data mining for artificial intelligence?
The recent Intellectual Property Office consultation on AI and IP sought evidence and views on text and data mining. We recognise that the creative industries have significant concerns about the potential impacts of the TDM proposal, leading us to reflect on whether to proceed with it in its current form. The IPO will engage with interested parties over months to inform government thinking and we will set out next steps.
