Laws are set by nations but technologies are borderless. For the UK to establish itself as the AI capital of Europe, its rules and regulations must be clear and promote the nation’s competitiveness relative to other jurisdictions that also are vying for AI investment, infrastructure and talent.

We believe the most effective way for the UK Government to achieve its stated goals of unlocking and leveraging the broad benefits of AI for its citizens is through a broad text and data mining exception (TDM), as described in Option Two of the consultation proposal.

Our position is based on three key principles:

The choice for the UK is clear: promote innovation by adopting policies that will help achieve breakthroughs in education, science, and healthcare—or cede AI leadership and influence on the future of this transformative technology to others.
