Google is promoting a balanced approach to the use of content in AI, with the goal of fostering collaboration and contributing to the development of a thriving AI ecosystem.

In the United Kingdom, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology recently conducted a consultation on proposed amendments to local copyright laws, to which submissions are now closed. We are now releasing our response, which outlines how reforms to the copyright framework that are targeted, growth-oriented, and innovation-friendly can help the UK achieve its goal of becoming a leader in AI investment and innovation, while also protecting the rights of content creators.

To enable AI companies of all sizes to succeed, we advocate for reforms that provide clear legal guidance, support technological progress, and encourage cooperation between AI developers and rights holders, ultimately benefiting the UK. We are eager to continue this conversation and explore ways to move forward.
