Campaigners have accused ministers of lying to parliament and the creative industries after the government signalled it would not force AI companies to disclose how they train their models.<\/p>\n

Ministers are holding firm in a standoff with the House of Lords<\/a>, which has called for artists to be offered immediate copyright protection against artificial intelligence companies.<\/p>\n

Peers voted by 221 to 116 on Wednesday<\/a> to insist on an amendment to the data bill that would force AI firms to be transparent about what copyrighted material they use to train their models.<\/p>\n

In an amendment tabled on Friday, the government dismissed the Lords\u2019 request and reiterated its promise to publish an economic impact assessment and technical reports on the future of AI and copyright regulation.<\/p>\n

Beeban Kidron, the crossbench peer and film director who has campaigned on behalf of the industry, said during Wednesday\u2019s debate that she would \u201caccept anything that the Commons does\u201d after this week. \u201cI will not stand in front of your Lordships again and press our case,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But the News Media Association (NMA), which represents publishers including the Guardian, said peers could table further amendments to the data bill when it returns to the Lords next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Industry figures said the government was acting in bad faith by not addressing the Lords\u2019 concerns and called for it to make further amendments of its own before MPs vote on it on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Kidron said: \u201cThe government has repeatedly taken all protections for UK copyrights holders out of the data bill. In doing so they have shafted the creative industries, and they have proved willing to decimate the UK\u2019s second-biggest industrial sector. They have lied to parliament, and they are lying to the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said the government\u2019s action \u201cadds another sector to the growing number that have an unbridgeable gap of trust with the government\u201d.<\/p>\n

Owen Meredith, the chief executive of the NMA, said: \u201cThe government\u2019s refusal to listen to the strong view of the Lords \u2026 risks undermining the legislative process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is still time for the government to do the right thing, and take transparency powers in this bill. This would be a key step towards rebuilding trust with a \u00a3126bn industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
