“The power from such a model would only be available on the BBC network”the spokesman said.
The Financial Times also reported, citing sources, that the broadcaster is in talks with technology companies to sell access to its files, which could then be used to train artificial intelligence models.

Reacting to this, the BBC said: “The BBC has no agreement with any organization to use its files to train the large language learning models that feed genetic artificial intelligence tools for commercial use.”
“We are looking at a wide range of issues such as potential bias within such models and how the BBC, either collaboratively or unilaterally, can address these.”
