Lords examine new amendment to data bill to require AI firms declare use of copyrighted content

It circumvents financial privilege grounds on which earlier version was rejected by MPs on Wednesday

A new amendment to the data bill that would require artificial intelligence companies to disclose their use of copyright-protected content has been tabled, after MPs voted to remove an earlier version on Wednesday.

The amendment by the cross-bench peer and former film director Beeban Kidron will be a fresh challenge to plans to let artificial intelligence firms use copyright-protected work without permission.
