This response to the UK Government consultation on AI and Copyright was prepared by researchers in the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) Programme. BRAID is a UK-wide programme dedicated to integrating Arts and Humanities research more fully into the Responsible AI ecosystem, as well as bridging the divides between academic, industry, policy and regulatory work on responsible AI (https://braiduk.org/).

Views are our own - as researchers/academics - and do not reflect those of our institutions, the organisations partnered with us in our projects, the BRAID programme as a whole, or other BRAID researchers. Throughout this response there may be varying views from the responding researchers, and we have flagged these where relevant, as well as points where there has been explicit agreement. Researchers who have not contributed to a particular answer do not take a view on that specific point.
