BIA submission to Government consultation on Copyright and AI
The BIA has responded to the joint Intellectual Property Office (IPO), Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) consultation on Copyright and and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In our submission, we highlighted:
-
The role of AI and data access in the life sciences sector, and its use by UK techbio companies
-
Our support for changes to UK copyright law in the form of a data mining exception which allows rights holders to reserve their rights, underpinned by supporting measures on transparency (option 3)
-
Considerations to be made around the use of synthetic data used to train AI models
-
For the UK to maintain the status quo on copyright protection for computer-generated works.
This submission follows on from the BIA's 2022 submission to the UK IPO's 2022 consultation on AI and IP focused on copyright and patents.
