UK government signals it will not force tech firms to disclose how they train AI
Briefly

Campaigners accuse UK ministers of misleading Parliament regarding AI regulation, particularly concerning copyright protections for artists. The House of Lords voted to amend a data bill, insisting AI companies must disclose their training data, which the government firmly rejected. Critics, including industry leaders and campaigners, argue that these actions jeopardize the creative sector, highlighting the government's neglect of copyright protections. Beeban Kidron, a prominent campaigner, asserted the government has betrayed the creative sector, leading to worsening trust issues between the industry and policymakers. The conflict raises concerns about the transparency and future regulation of AI in the UK.
The government has repeatedly taken all protections for UK copyright holders out of the data bill. In doing so they have shafted the creative industries, and they have proved willing to decimate the UK's second biggest industrial sector.
The government’s refusal to listen to the strong view of the creative industries adds to growing mistrust, suggesting a disconnect between policymakers and those in the industry that drive it forward.
