In December 2024, the government published proposals to change the way in which this material could be used. This included the establishment of a copyright exemption for AI developers and a new rights reservation model whereby copyright holders would need to opt-out from having their material used for training AI.

The boom in AI brings opportunities for the creative industries but raises several challenges that must be addressed. These challenges require a human-centric and holistic approach.
