The BBC set out its approach to generative AI in [1]: "The emergence of generative AI is expected to herald a new wave of technology innovation that could impact almost every field of human activity. The new tools can generate text, images, speech, music and video in response to prompts from a user, producing new creative possibilities, and potential efficiency gains. Alongside these opportunities, it is clear that generative AI introduces new and significant risks if not harnessed properly. These include ethical issues, legal and copyright challenges, and significant risks around misinformation and bias. The BBC does not believe the current scraping of its content and data without permission in order to train generative AI models is in the public interest, and wants to agree a more structured and sustainable approach with technology companies."
