According to the Financial Times, the UK government ministers will postpone controversial modifications to copyright rules due to strong opposition from the creative industry. These changes were intended to make it easier for AI companies to access and use media content. An insider familiar with the government's two-month consultation response stated that the copyright issue will be shelved once again. The consultation aimed to gather opinions on how to regulate AI companies' access to copyrighted materials, with the government's official response expected to be released in the next two weeks. Two sources revealed that public feedback on the consultation did not support any of the government's proposed schemes for AI use of copyrighted materials. As a result, ministers have decided to reassess the plans, gather more evidence, and engage in a longer consultation on multiple options.
