Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 May 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Motion 49A would not prevent UK content creators from having their content scraped by web crawlers operating in other jurisdictions. However, it would harm the development and use of AI in the UK. It would make it very difficult, if not impossible, for a UK AI start-up to develop a software product to, for example, optimise cancer treatment using LLMs trained and fine-tuned on the combination of our sovereign NHS dataset and the last two decades of oncology textbooks and research papers, most of which are copyrighted material.
