Proposals to regulate artificial intelligence have been delayed by at least a year as UK ministers plan a bumper bill to regulate the technology and its use of copyrighted material.

Peter Kyle, the technology secretary, intends to introduce a “comprehensive” AI bill in the next parliamentary session to address concerns about issues including safety and copyright.

Beeban Kidron, the film director and cross-bench peer who has been campaigning on behalf of the creative sector, said on Friday that ministers “have shafted the creative industries, and they have proved willing to decimate the UK’s second-biggest industrial sector”.

Kyle told the Commons last month that AI and copyright should be dealt with as part of a separate “comprehensive” bill.

Translation: Labour is getting too much opposition to their plans to basically give all Brits' intellectual property to the AI companies, so they're delaying till next year and apparently planning an AI equivalent of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" so they can try to get their steamrolling of British creatives through if packaged with some measures Parliament wants.

In the meantime, there'll be a lot more pro-AI lobbying, with Labour already apparently under the AI bros' control.
