AI Copyright Law 2025: Surprising Global Policy Shifts That Could Change Everything
London
London sits in the middle of its own policy debate. A sweeping exception for text and data mining once seemed close to approval until publishers and artists raised loud objections. The government retreated and opened consultations that now drift toward the Brussels approach, with transparency and opt-outs taking the stage. For enterprises in the United Kingdom, the moment feels like a long intermission with everyone waiting for the curtain to rise on the next act.
Asia
Asia has chosen a looser path. Japan’s 2018 Copyright Act opened the door by allowing copyrighted works to be used for data analysis, which in practice stretches to AI training. Singapore followed with a clause for computational data analysis, giving developers a freer runway than their Western peers. The contrast is striking. A developer in Tokyo can train with relative ease, while a counterpart in Paris is expected to document every stage and publish a data summary.
