Open consultation on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence + The Culture, Media and Sport Committee State of Play Consultation

Ambrose Bierce in the Devil’s Dictionary said consultation is “to seek another’s approval of a course already decided on”. there is some truth in that,  but then if you don’t respond,  the cosultation will truly be a lost cause.

There are two consultations. The first is  on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence which closes at  23:59 on 25 February 2025. PPL have just sent out a reminder

Government consultation on AI
In December, the Government published its AI Consultation paper and the AI Opportunities Action Plan which outlines plans to change copyright laws to allow Artificial Intelligence firms to use the work of music creators without permission or payment.
Share your views 
UK Music, the collective voice of the UK’s music industry, is asking everyone who makes a living from music to respond to the consultation to share their views, before it closes on 25 February. You can access their guidance on how to fill in the consultation below.

The Second consultation is the Culture Media and Sport Committee.

The Culture, Media and Sport Committee wants to give everyone across the world of culture, media and sport the chance to suggest themes or sectors that they should look into.

What difference could a one-off session make to your work? Let them know. They will be considering:

  • Whether this is a topic that falls wholly or mainly within the responsibility of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
  • Whether the Committee, Government or other relevant body has recently undertaken work on this topic
  • What impact the Committee and Government can have in dealing with the issues being raised
  • The breadth of support from the relevant sector(s)
  • The urgency of any potential action
  • Whether the proposal can be considered effectively in a single evidence sessio

This form will be open until 23:59 on Friday 21 February.

The link to the form is here 

Many thanks for your help.
