Expanding Horizons: Artificial Intelligence in Creative Technology
UK's Creative Industries Call for Action on AI and Creative Technology
The UK's creative sector is urging the Government and industry to take decisive action over the next five years to maximize the economic potential of AI and creative technology sectors. This call to action comes from Creative PEC, an organization that provides independent research and policy recommendations for the UK's creative industries.
In a submission to the Communications and Digital Committee, Creative PEC has outlined a series of policy recommendations aimed at unlocking the economic potential of these sectors. The submission, while not fully available in its entirety, emphasizes the importance of innovation, regulation, skills development, collaboration, and strategic government spending.
Innovation and Research & Development
Creative PEC highlights the need for sustained investment in research and development to drive innovation within the creative industries. This includes recognising the contributions of the arts, humanities, and social sciences to technological advancements.
Regulatory Framework for AI-Generated Content
The organization also stresses the need for a robust regulatory framework for AI-generated creative works. This includes clarifying copyright protections and intellectual property rights to foster innovation while protecting creators.
Digital Skills and Workforce Development
Building digital skills and capabilities across the creative sectors is seen as essential for the UK to compete globally and fully leverage AI technologies.
Cross-Sector Collaboration and Global Engagement
Creative PEC supports initiatives such as the Global Creative Economy Council to facilitate international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and market expansion for UK creative tech.
Leveraging Government Spending and Strategic Frameworks
The submission aligns with broader government innovation plans and skills strategies that support digital infrastructure, 5G rollout, and investment into digital and creative economy ecosystems.
In addition to this submission, Creative PEC has also responded to the UK Government's inquiry examining the challenges faced by SMEs seeking to scale up in the AI and creative technology sectors. Emily Hopkins, a Policy Adviser at Creative PEC, is credited as the author of this response.
The inquiry, focused on firms working in AI and creative technology, aims to identify actions required from the Government and industry over the next five years to maximize the economic potential of these sectors and secure a competitive advantage.
