Publishers Association comment on the Westminster Hall debate on AI and IP
23 Apr 2025
Today, Wednesday 23 April, a Westminster Hall debate will take place on the impact of AI on intellectual property.
Dan Conway, CEO of the Publishers Association, commented:
"Our strong IP regime is a competitive advantage for the UK globally and today's debate could not have been secured at a more important time. Contrary to what we're hearing tech companies claim, our copyright laws are an engine for UK growth and require reinforcing - not watering down - in order to make sure that the benefits of a transformative technology like AI are felt across the economy.
"Parliamentarians understand what's at stake. Our polling shows that MPs support the introduction of transparency requirements on AI developers (92%) and compensation for rightsholders (86%).
"But more fundamentally we would ask MPs which future they would want to see: one where our world-renowned creative industries are incentivised to grow and transform with technology, or one where we fold to the teenage demands of a tech sector who want content for free."
