The UK may require AI-generated content to be labeled

The United Kingdom is may introduce labeling requirements for AI-generated content as part of a broader review of copyright law, Reuters reports. The aim is to make it easier for consumers to identify material created by AI and protect them against threats such as deepfakes and disinformation. At the same time, the government emphasized that the rules would need to be designed so as not to slow development in the rapidly growing AI sector. According to Technology Minister Liz Kendall, the government will also review the risks associated with digital copies of people created without consent, how creators can gain greater control over the use of their works online, and how creative industries can receive fairer compensation. The UK currently has the world’s third-largest AI industry after the US and China. According to Kendall, the sector is growing about 23 times faster than the rest of the British economy.
