Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
The data Bill was not hijacked by creatives to get in the way of the Government’s growth plans. We have made grown-up interventions to rescue an AI policy written by a serial tech investor with a conflict of interest so deep that at some point it will feature in an ITV drama—a tech investor who has access to the Cabinet and who has failed to make the case for why other people’s property or, indeed, property paid for by the UK taxpayer should be given away to some of the most capitalised businesses in history—but it is based on this policy that the Government have deliberately rejected the Lords’ will to uphold property rights, and it is based on this policy that they have chosen to stand in the way of allowing creative workers and companies to protect their assets and future income for themselves.
