The Government recognises that licensing is an important tool to ensure rights holders are remunerated appropriately. We have made no specific estimate at this stage of the potential economic value of licensing agreements between AI developers and rights holders.

The Government will launch a consultation soon to seek views and welcome evidence on a package of measures to address copyright and AI issues, including the value of licensing.
