Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to protect intellectual property rights in the training of AI models.

As a government, we are determined to back both our world-class creative sectors and our technology sector. Both are essential to our plan for growth.

We recognise the potential impact of AI technology on intellectual property rights, including patents, trade marks, designs, and copyright. A balanced IP system can also support AI development.

We know we need to strike the right balance on this and we are engaging with creatives, tech companies and parliamentarians to ensure we get that right.
