Culture Secretary Lisa Nandi has promised that the AI Copyright Act government plan will reflect concerns in the creation sector.
The Minister told the meetings after Deloitte Enders Media Telecom 2025 that he would help the government convened a number of roundtables along with representatives from the media industry as a whole to inform both chambers of Congress that are subject to appropriate discussion.
She said the minister heard that during consultations on potential AI laws the sector was “loud and clear” and that it was open-minded without a favorable option.
She admitted that “there is no easy solution,” but promised that the government would ensure that creatives and the industry would be paid for their work.
“If (AI Act) doesn’t work in the creative sector, it won’t work for us,” Nandi pledged. “Creators are innovators and are based on future economic success. And with my colleague (Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology), Peter Kyle, we work together to find a better solution.
“We approach you with the preferred options in mind. Just like I do with this international landscape, you know, but there is no easy solution, but this government is determined to work with you to find a solution with transparency and trust as its foundation.
“I will never stop you from working for the creative to provide the solutions, transparency and empowerment you need in the digital age. We are a labour government and people’s principles must be paid for their work.
“My commitment to you is an open and collaborative partnership with the government and we can work together to carry this transition.
