Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the decision of the High Court in Getty Images v Stability AI [2025] EWHC 2863 (Ch) on copyright and innovation policy, in particular in relation to the use of copyrighted materials to train AI models.

The Government is aware of the judgment in this case and is considering its implications. We are currently preparing a report on copyright and artificial intelligence, for publication next year. This report will take into account a range of views and evidence, including this judgment.

We recognise how important decisions on AI and copyright are to individuals and business across the creative industries and AI sector and are committed to developing an approach that allows both to thrive.
