The UK government has published its much anticipated report on copyright and AI. The government has not proposed any specific legislative changes of copyright law in relation to training AI models at this stage, saying it wants to see how the situation in other countries evolves and continue discussions with stakeholders. The government has however ruled out a general TDM exception, backed away from its previously “preferred” option of an exception with an opt out and announced an intention to kill off copyright for purely computer generated works. There are four specific areas where it says it wants to do further work. These are: digital replicas, labelling AI content, creator control and transparency and licensing support for independent and smaller creatives. In this article, we set out our initial thoughts on the report and some of the key take aways.

As part of the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy, the UK Government announced on 16 July 2025 the formation of expert working groups as part of its Plan for Change. These working groups will aim to deliver a solution that balances encouraging AI innovation whilst ensuring robust protections for creative industries through copyright. This initiative builds on a consultation on AI and Copyright launched by the UK Government in December 2024, which has already attracted 11,500 responses. Feedback from these working groups will help finalise policy measures arising from this consultation, and hopefully deliver practical, workable solutions to foster innovation and growth.
