<p>The Government recognises the enormous potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
to deliver better public services, high quality jobs and opportunities, and enable
future high growth industries. As set out in the recent AI white paper, our goal is
to ensure that the UK becomes an AI superpower.</p><p>However, it is important that
while we harness the benefits of AI, we also manage the risks. This includes particular
risks to creative sectors and rights holders, notably the music industry.</p><p>As
set out in the Government response to the Pro-innovation Regulation of Digital Technologies
Review, we are working with users and rights holders to develop a code of practice
on text and data mining, a process used in the development and training of AI models.
To inform the code of practice, the Government is convening a group of AI firms and
rights holders, in the music industry and other parts of the creative sector, to identify
barriers faced by users of data mining techniques when accessing copyright materials,
and to develop licensing solutions for these.</p><p>The Chancellor hosted a Creative
Industries conference on 3 May alongside the Secretary of State for Culture, Media
and Sport; Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology; and the Secretary
of State for Education, to discuss with 80 industry representatives the key challenges
and opportunities facing the Creative Industries, including the impact of the use
of AI in the music industry. We will continue to engage and work closely with industry
on the design and implementation of future reforms.</p>
