UK ministers delay AI regulation amid plans for more comprehensive' bill
Briefly

The UK's plans to regulate artificial intelligence, which initially aimed for a short and focused bill, are now delayed by at least a year. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle intends to introduce comprehensive legislation addressing AI safety and copyright issues in the next parliamentary session. The timeline has shifted, waiting for alignment with U.S. policy, including new copyright rules that would permit AI model training on copyrighted materials without consent from rights holders. This has stirred backlash from the creative sector, prompting a broader discussion on regulatory approaches.
Ministers plan a comprehensive AI bill to regulate technology and copyright use, responding to safety concerns. The bill's introduction is delayed until after the next king's speech.
The government is looking to combine AI regulation and copyright protection into one bill, as tensions with the creative sector grow over proposed copyright provisions.
