科技 · AI regulation · 新聞典藏Britain's AI Autumn: Opt-Out Scraping, Grid Deposits and an Under-16 Ban Without a Definition文字 2026年9月7日 下午9:22 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:00The government's preferred plan to let0:01material be scraped into large language0:03models unless creators opted out has0:05stalled after pushback from both0:07creative industries and tech firms,0:09leaving autumn without a settled rule on0:11consent. The approach would have made0:12scraping the default, [music] but0:14opposition from both sides has left who0:16consents and who pays unresolved. A form0:18of ban on under-16s as using social0:20media was announced at the very end of0:22the Starmer government, but without0:24agreement on what platform counts0:25[music] as social media. A distinction0:27companies are now contesting that will0:28determine whether any ban [music] can be0:30enforced. Industry's main complaint is0:32that AI growth zones do not address the0:34fundamental challenges,0:36>> [music]0:36>> especially electricity prices and grid0:38hookups. Ofgem has proposed a deposit to0:40join the grid queue,0:41>> [music]0:42>> refundable if the project proceeds,0:43intended to filter speculative0:45applications for [music] data centers0:47and other large power users. On the0:49ground, data centers often promise jobs,0:51but in several places have not brought0:53many jobs, causing friction with local0:55communities with added concern over0:57energy and water use during droughts0:59when households already face1:01constraints. [music] Palantir software1:03is present in well north of 100 NHS1:05trusts. Yet reports indicate it is not1:07necessarily being used that often,1:09forcing a break clause decision on1:11whether to keep or replace a system1:13already rolled out widely but used1:14lightly. France has moved away from1:16Palantir [music] to try to build1:18homegrown capacity, offering a1:19contrasting model as Britain weighs1:21reliance and cost. And this [music]1:23whole picture so far rests on a single1:25podcast discussion without broader1:26independent confirmation.1:28What remains is whether autumn brings1:30clear definitions for consent, for what1:32counts as social media,1:33>> [music]1:33>> and for how power and grid access are1:35priced and sequenced, or whether1:37speculative queue spots, vague bans, and1:39an underused NHS platform harden into1:41lasting costs for creators, ratepayers,1:44patients, and teenagers.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗
