Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 October 2025

Debate

Creative Copyright

Contribution

The Government continue their haphazard approach to artificial intelligence and copyright. I wish they would get that resolved. One thing that has concerned and upset the sector was the comments of a newly appointed special adviser to the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, who said, “whether or not you philosophically believe the big AI firms should compensate content creators, they in practice will never legally have to”. I am really hoping that the Secretary of State distances herself from those comments and that that is not the intention of her Government.
