As government looks to put the Digital Services Tax on the table in tariff talks with Donald Trump, Shadow Chancellor, Mel Stride tells Times Radio digital companies should pay taxes in jurisdictions they delivered activities. Analysis from @ukaiofficial.bsky.social: chamberuk.com/digital-serv...

With the UK economy stagnating, the UK Government must do all it can to retain its internationally competitive economic environment. Targeted taxes on larger tech firms will decrease the chances of smaller tech and AI firms from creating a supply chain here in the UK. #BBCLauraK

Government should retain existing copyright laws and instead focus on making the UK as competitive economy as possible to ensure creative businesses continue to base themselves in the UK. 3/3

“not set in stone”. He said the Government would review responses to the consultation that closed on Tuesday, highlighting “the creative sector is obviously really important to our economy”. Trade body for the UK AI economy @ukaiofficial.bsky.social told @thetimes.com this week the 2/3

Could the Government row back on AI copyright changes following protests from thousands of creative industries? Sir Keir Starmer said plans that could allow tech firms to use copyrighted works to train their AI software without permission, unless the owner opted out were 1/3

UKAI is against changing copyright law to an opt-out model. Instead of replacing it, we should build upon existing, well-understood copyright law. Collaboration, not conflict, is good for business and the consumers that we serve. Let’s build an AI industry that works for everyone.
