Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what evidence her Department has gathered since March 2026 on the copyright regime influences where AI models are trained.

The Government's March 2026 report and impact assessment on copyright and artificial intelligence recognised that copyright law may influence where AI developers choose to train their models, alongside other factors.

Since March, we have continued to build the evidence base on the impact of different copyright approaches on AI development and investment in the UK, including through stakeholder engagement and our work on creator control and input transparency. This work will inform whether there is an appropriate role for Government.
