The <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/data-use-and-access-bill-factsheets/data-use-and-access-bill-factsheet-growing-the-economy">Data (Use and Access) Bill</a> (the Bill) proposes several reforms to how personal and business data can be used. Despite the obvious overlap between data and copyright law in the context of AI models, it is not a stated aim of the Bill to address this intersection. Nonetheless, at this key stage in the Bill’s reading, several amendments have been tabled by the crossbench peer Baroness Kidron that would require the government to implement a new regime that would apply to operators of internet scrapers and general-purpose AI models. Legislation created under the Bill (if enacted) would require such operators to:
<ul>
 	<li><a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3825/stages/19280/amendments/10016157">Comply with UK copyright law, and to abide by a set of procedures</a>;</li>
 	<li><a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3825/stages/19280/amendments/10016161">Be transparent about the identity and purpose of their crawlers; operate distinct crawlers for different purposes; and not penalise copyright holders who choose to deny scraping for AI by downranking their content in, or removing their content from, a search engine</a>; and</li>
 	<li><a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3825/stages/19280/amendments/10016160">Be transparent about the copyrighted works they have scraped, allowing copyright holders to understand when their work has been scraped.</a></li>
</ul>
