"AI firms were rapidly emerging as the new gatekeepers of the internet and intervention was needed to create a healthy AI news environment. It recommended standardised labels for AI-generated news, showing what information had been used to create those answers, including peer-reviewed studies and articles from professional news organisations. It also urged the establishment of a licensing regime in the UK allowing publishers to negotiate with tech companies over the use of their content in AI news."
"If AI companies are going to profit from journalism and shape what the public sees, they must be required to pay fairly for the news they use and operate under clear rules that protect plurality, trust and the long-term future of independent journalism, said Roa Powell, senior research fellow at IPPR and the report's co-author. The IPPR said work on licensing could begin with the UK's competition regulator using its new enforcement powers over Google."
AI firms are emerging as new gatekeepers of online information, creating a need for interventions to maintain a healthy AI news environment. Standardised labels for AI-generated news should show what information was used to create answers, including peer-reviewed studies and articles from professional news organisations. A UK licensing regime should allow publishers to negotiate with tech companies and enable collective licensing to ensure a wide range of publishers are included. Competition authorities can use enforcement powers to limit scraping. Copyright should remain unchanged to foster a licensing market while governments support diverse news business models, including the BBC and local outlets.
