techUK Comment on the AI Copyright Consultation
Yesterday, a consultation was launched on AI and Copyright. techUK's comment can be found below:
Technology trade association techUK said:
"The development and use of AI presents enormous opportunities for all parts of the UK economy. However, the current uncertainty over AI and copyright risks holding back both the development and use of AI technology, not least in the creative industries themselves. It is in everyone’s interests to resolve these issues in a way that supports innovation and growth.
"We welcome the Government’s commitment to finding a solution that creates a competitive and supportive environment for both for the UK tech and creative sectors."
