Economic and policy review of three reports on copyright and AI

The note linked below provides an independent economic and policy review of three recent studies on copyright and AI.

Each of these studies contains economic modelling on the impact of a new copyright exception for text and data mining (TDM) for commercial use. We provide a high-level review of the modelling and claims around economic impact and growth, to test if these are credible.  

Overall, we find the studies do not demonstrate that introducing a new copyright exception for text and data mining would result in an overall increase in UK growth.

Our review was commissioned by the News Media Association (NMA), Publishers’ Licensing Services (PLS) and the Publishers Association (PA).
