"Copyright is going to be kicked down the road," said one person with knowledge of the government's planned response to a two-month consultation on how to regulate AI companies' access to copyrighted material, due to be released in the next fortnight. Responses to the consultation did not favour any of the government's proposed models for AI use of copyrighted materials. Ministers have instead decided they need to go back to the drawing board, gathering more evidence and spending longer consulting on various options, according to two people briefed on the plans. People close to the process said there was now no expectation that the government would include an AI bill in the King's Speech, due in May, and instead push any decisions and new legislation into next year.

We've had strong signals since at least December that the #AIBill was being dropped

Asked about an AI bill by MPs on Dec. 3, Kendall said: "There are measures we will need to take to make sure we get the most on growth and deal with regulatory issues. If there are measures we need to do to protect kids online, we will take those. I am thinking about it more in terms of specific areas where we may need to act rather than a big all-encompassing bill." The team in Kendall's department which looks at frontier AI regulation, meanwhile, has been reassigned, according to two people familiar with the team. Polling by the Ada Lovelace Institute shows Labour's leadership is out of sync with public views on AI, with 9 in 10 wanting an independent AI regulator with enforcement powers.

I recall in the summer a DSIT minister said the Government was planning to publish a consultation on AI legislation by the end of the year. Now it sounds like we might not get an #AIBill at all. Too hard, or too much of a distraction?

🚨 Senators propose banning AI chatbots for minors after reports of harmful interactions—no child should interact with a bot that risks their safety! What do you think? 🛑💔 #AIBill #ChildSafety #TechRegulation LINK

Kirsty Innes, recently appointed as a special adviser to Liz Kendall, the secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, said "whether or not you philosophically believe the big AI firms should compensate content creators, they in practice will never legally have to". The government is consulting on how creatives should be compensated by AI firms and only last week leading British artists including Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and Paul McCartney urged Keir Starmer to stand up for creators' human rights and protect their work. Innes, who previously worked at the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) thinktank, has deleted the statement, which she posted to X in February, seven months before she became a ministerial adviser. In the deleted posts, seen by the Guardian, she said: "A lot of this has already happened and it can continue to happen outside the UK, whatever our laws say." She added: "This might be a bitter pill to swallow for some."

No new information. Minister won't promise to publish a consultation on AI legislation this summer. (DSIT has previously said "later this year".)

#AIBill #techpolicy

UK House of Commons written question UIN 63420, tabled on 27 June 2025 and answered on 7 July 2025: Victoria Collins Liberal Democrat, Harpenden and Berkhamsted Commons To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what his planned timetable is for publishing the consultation on the proposed AI Bill. Answer Feryal Clark Labour, Enfield North Commons The Government plans to publish a consultation later this year on AI legislation.

Presumably this will focus on development of large models, per Labour's GE manifesto, rather than copyright rules Government has subsequently said it will also cover in an #AIBill.
