Google’s innovative suggestions for the UK’s copyright system

Google has outlined a balanced approach for the responsible use of content in AI, aimed at fostering cooperation and cultivating a robust AI ecosystem. In the UK, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology recently sought feedback on proposed modifications to local copyright laws. With the consultation period now closed, we are sharing our response, which highlights how targeted, pro-growth, and pro-innovation reforms to the copyright framework can help the UK realize its ambition to be a leader in AI investment and innovation, all while respecting the rights of content creators.

For AI companies of all sizes to thrive, we advocate for reforms that provide legal clarity, support technological progression, and encourage collaboration between AI developers and rights holders, benefiting the UK as a whole. We look forward to continuing this important discussion.
