NMA Responds To Government Response To AI Consultation

Responding to the government’s response to the consultation “A pro-innovation approach to AI regulation”, News Media Association chief executive Owen Meredith has said: “The government’s response to the AI consultation quite rightly acknowledges the widespread concerns of rights holders in how tech and AI developers use copyrighted material to train AI models without consent.

“Transparency is key, and we are pleased that the government will seek and explore mechanisms for delivering greater transparency from AI developers with the data they use.

“We also welcome the government’s stated commitment to the creative industries and to ensuring that AI development supports, rather than undermines, human creativity, innovation, and the provision of trustworthy information such as journalism.

“The NMA looks forward to playing a full part in this important work as it moves forward.”
