Summary
On 17 December 2024, the Intellectual Property Office published its consultation on copyright and artificial intelligence (AI), towards regulating access to copyright works for machine learning, while acknowledging mechanisms for control over those works by rights-holders.2 The text itself is interesting, making limited reference to society and no references at all to culture (other than in relation to the European Union (EU) and cultural heritage institutions3), and it is somewhat remarkable for its implied policy perspective on creativity, which has become overwhelmed by speed, volume and efficiency, even to the point of noting a change to the definition of originality. It might seem that originality is at risk of becoming a relic in the AI era. It is in the context of this consultation, and with reference to some of its specific suggestions, that this argument for copyright as a welfare right is made.
