Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

As a consequence of what is happening already, models are being trained on UK-owned content in other countries and this is likely to continue. We could legislate to make the UK’s approach to copyright the strictest in the world, but it would not change this reality worldwide. What it would do is make it harder to develop AI technology in the UK and models developed in other countries would no longer be available here. At the same time, many rights holders would still be unable to control use of their work or seek payment for it. We would have no ability to influence other approaches, such as the EU’s, or to shape international rules and standards.
