The UK's House of Lords kicks back bill that let AI train on copyrighted content


The UK's House of Lords just voted to include an amendment to a data bill that requires AI companies to disclose the use of copyright-protected works when training models. This is the second time the body has demanded transparency from tech companies regarding AI.

The UK's House of Lords just voted to add an amendment to a data bill that mandates that tech companies disclose which copyright-protected works were used to train AI models, as reported by The Guardian. “The House of Lords has once again taken the right decision by voting to establish vital transparency obligations for AI companies," Sophie Jones, chief strategist for the British Phonographic Industry, told Billboard. The government recently added its own amendments to the data bill that include a commitment to conduct an economic impact assessment and to publish reports on transparency with regard to licensing.
