Lords examine new amendment to data bill to require AI firms declare use of copyrighted content

A proposed amendment to a data bill requiring artificial intelligence companies to disclose their use of copyright-protected content has been tabled after an earlier version was rejected due to financial privilege concerns. The new amendment, led by MP Beeban Kidron, removes the financial privilege ground and focuses on transparency without specifying enforcement details. It will be debated in the House of Lords later this month and aims to provide a clear timeline for enforcing licensing norms. However, critics argue that it lacks specifics on how enforcement will occur, while supporters highlight its alignment with government transparency goals.
