The House of Lords is currently reviewing a new amendment to the data bill that mandates AI companies to declare their usage of copyrighted content. This move aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the tech industry. It follows concerns about how AI-generated content often relies on material protected by copyright without proper attribution or permission.
This amendment circumvents the financial privilege grounds that led to the rejection of a previous version by Members of Parliament. By requiring AI firms to disclose their use of copyrighted materials, the Lords hope to address the ongoing debate about copyright in the age of artificial intelligence.
