UK ‘Sovereign AI fund’ does no due diligence on copyright breaches

The UK’s new fund for investing in AI ventures does zero due diligence on whether companies receiving cash use copyrighted work without permission. The revelation comes after a series of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests by Ed Newton-Rex. Rex is chief executive of ‘Fairly Trained‘, which checks and certifies AI companies’ use of data for training their models. UK ‘Sovereign AI fund’ In fact, Newton-Rex had to use three FOI requests to praise the admission out of the government.
