In response to the government’s consultation today on copyright and AI<\/a>, Owen Meredith, chief executive of the News Media Association, has said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe government\u2019s consultation, along with its preferred policy option on AI and copyright, fails to address the real issue. The UK\u2019s gold standard copyright law is already clear; what is missing is robust enforcement and transparency requirements that empower creative businesses to assert their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt present, there is no lack of clarity in the law, but these proposals will only muddy the water and allow GAI firms to shirk their responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNews publishers deserve control over when and how their content is used and, crucially, fair remuneration for its use. Instead of proposing\u00a0unworkable systems such as the \u2018rights reservations\u2019 (or opt-out\u2019) regime, the government should focus\u00a0on implementing transparency requirements within the existing copyright framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only this will ensure that creatives and the GAI firms that rely on them for high-quality data can thrive together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
