Background
This inquiry builds on the Committee’s previous work on AI and copyright as part of recent reports into UK scaleups, large language models and the creative industries.
This session examines how other countries are responding to the copyright challenges posed by AI and what lessons the UK can draw from their approaches.
Possible areas for discussion
Possible areas for discussion with witnesses include:
- How different jurisdictions regulate the use of copyrighted works in AI training;
- whether rights-reservation and opt-out mechanisms have been effective in practice;
- examples of international transparency and audit obligations that help rightsholders identify when their works have been used in AI systems; and
- how countries are tackling issues arising from AI-generated outputs.
