Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Luke Taylor and Lisa Nandy

Thursday 16th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Lisa Nandy]

Actually, no country in the world has yet managed to resolve this matter. We appreciate the urgency and we are determined to address this and become the gold standard. The creative industries are at the centre of our industrial strategy for a reason: because we know that they lead and light up the world. Whatever AI model develops in future, human, good-quality content will be at the heart of that. We have to and will protect it and I am happy to give him that assurance.
