PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(25 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the UK copyright framework in tackling AI-generated content that infringes upon copyright protections.

Asked by:
Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

AI generated content will infringe copyright in the UK if it reproduces a substantial part of a protected work unless a copyright exception applies.

The Government’s consultation on Copyright and AI, which closed on 25th February, covered a range of topics including copyright enforcement for infringing AI outputs.

Our priority now is to review the evidence from the consultation which will inform the Government response
