Select committee: Communications and Digital Committee

Conclusion 55

1st Report - Large language models and generative AI Published 2 Feb 2024 Paragraph 246
Conclusion (the committee's words)
The application of the law to LLM processes is complex, but the principles remain clear. The point of copyright is to reward creators for their efforts, prevent others from using works without permission, and incentivise innovation. The current legal framework is failing to ensure these outcomes occur and the Government has a duty to act. It cannot sit on its hands for the next decade until sufficient case law has emerged.
