Technology secretary Peter Kyle insisted that the UK has the opportunity to support an 'advanced AI sector, with leading creative industries'.
'This week I discovered that the subtitles of one of my episodes of new tricks have been scraped and are used to make learning materials for artificial intelligence.
“Together with thousands of other films and TV shows, my original work is used by Generative AI to write scripts that can one day replace versions that are produced by purely people like me.”
She added: 'This is theft and it happens on an industrial scale. While the law is, artificial intelligence companies do not have to be transparent about what they steal. '
She said she had to make quality scripts that it needed to have 'a person behind the wheel', which is paid to produce something original.
The Labor Member of Parliament added that the UK 'should inspire the rest of the world to adopt high standards' and that the creative industries of the country 'deserved a dynamic licensing market that protects copyright'.
