New Government paper looks at AI regulation

Of particular relevance to PPA members are the remarks on page 20 of the White Paper:

“Government is taking wider action to ensure the UK retains its status as a global leader in AI, for example by taking forward Sir Patrick Vallance’s recommendation relating to intellectual property law and generative AI. This will ensure we keep the right balance between protecting rights holders and our thriving creative industries, while supporting AI developers to access the data they need.”

Further details of Sir Patrick’s previous recommendation can be found here.

The PPA will continue to engage with the White Paper process to ensure the right balance is struck on this and that members’ intellectual property and copyright are not given away without the proper licensing protections.
