Recommendation 3
3
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 39
Government's AI working group failed to produce IP code, favouring AI developers.
Conclusion
Despite our previous recommendations that the Government win back the trust of creators regarding their concerns over AI, its working group has not been able to bring forward a code of practice on AI and intellectual property. Although the Government asserted that it could consider legislating were agreement not reached, it has not indicated that it will do so. It is unlikely that simply conducting a further period of engagement with the sectors, with no clarity over its overall aims, will have any meaningful effect. We are concerned that the status quo simply favours AI developers, given creators’ concerns that their IP is already being used in AI development without licence or any practical means of recourse.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government acknowledges the Committee's concerns regarding the lack of a code of practice on AI and IP and the status quo favoring AI developers. They state that DCMS, DSIT, and IPO are working closely to understand issues, engaging with stakeholders, and intend to proceed with urgency to announce next steps soon, recognizing potential legislative needs.
