UK Publishers Association Argues AI Copyright Exception is “Redundant”

A new study from the UK’s Publishers Association, titled “Content Superpower,” concludes that calls for a copyright exception for AI training are unnecessary. The report argues that a healthy and growing licensing market already exists, allowing AI developers to legally access publisher content. This finding strengthens the publishing industry’s position that AI companies should pay to use their works, rather than being granted a free pass to mine data. ---
