Title: BRAID researchers' response to UK Government copyright and AI consultation Authors: Sichani, A-M; Westenberger, P; Bryan-Kinns, N; Bunz, M; Collet, C; Heravi, B; Miltner, KM; Moruzzi, C; Townsend, BA Abstract: This response to the UK Government consultation on AI and Copyright was prepared by researchers in the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) Programme. BRAID is a UK-wide programme dedicated to integrating Arts and Humanities research more fully into the Responsible AI ecosystem, as well as bridging the divides between academic, industry, policy and regulatory work on responsible AI (https://braiduk.org/). Views are our own - as researchers/academics - and do not reflect those of our institutions, the organisations partnered with us in our projects, the BRAID programme as a whole, or other BRAID researchers. Throughout this response there may be varying views from the responding researchers, and we have flagged these where relevant, as well as points where there has been explicit agreement. Researchers who have not contributed to a particular answer do not take a view on that specific point.

Title: Dr Paula Westenberger's Response to UK IPO Public Consultation on Copyright and AI Authors: Westenberger, P Abstract: This response to the 2025 UK IPO Public Consultation on Copyright and AI summarises some of the arguments made in the forthcoming paper Westenberger, P. and Farmaki, D. (2025) ‘Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage Research: the Challenges in UK Copyright Law and Policy’. It addresses questions 5, 16, 28 and 29 of the consultation. It argues that the boundaries between any new commercial TDM exception and the non-commercial research exception must be carefully and clearly delineated, and that s. 29A CDPA must be clarified and expanded. It also flags that the heritage sector (in its full breadth and diversity) and researchers in such contexts should be taken into further consideration in AI and copyright policy. This response was produced as part of Dr Paula Westenberger BRAID UK (AHRC funded AH/X007146/1) Research Fellowship.

Title: A brief history of the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law Authors: Easton, S Abstract: In this article the founding editor of the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law charts the origins of the journal in the 1990s and its subsequent development. The rationale of the journal is discussed, specifically why it was considered that this journal was needed and its valuable contribution to scholarship. The broad scope of the journal in terms of the dimensions of discrimination and the wide range of jurisdictions covered made it unique at that time. The contributions of those involved in the earlier stages of the journal’s life are highlighted as well as the challenges it experienced. The article also refers to the transition to a new publisher after several years and the changes that followed, as well as the positive prospects for the future.
