Ban destructive scanning of books used in AI training or digitising

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 26 July 2026

We call on the Government to require that any company purchasing UK books in bulk for AI training use non-destructive scanning methods, and to bar AI models built on destructively-scanned books from commercial licensing in the UK. There are reports of AI companies buying and destructively scanning millions of books for AI training; a 2025 US court ruled this lawful there under fair use. Non-destructive scanning already exists and is used by libraries, but some AI firms favour destructive methods because they are faster and cheaper. Booksellers in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Spain have since reported near-identical bulk requests from other AI firms, suggesting UK sellers could be next. Nothing currently stops AI models trained this way from being sold and used in the UK.

Ensure public energy and water infrastructure is protected from AI data centres.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 23 July 2026

Water, energy and land expenditure for AI data centres has grown exponentially in the past 5 years. Government should make commitments now to protect public access to energy and water, set absolute caps on how much data centres can use, and ensure increased costs are never burdened on the public. Data centres are not going away, and the growth of their use worldwide has already placed a burden on water and energy infrastructure. These businesses should never be given freedom to expand data centres where that expansion reduces the availability or quality of energy and water supply to the general public, and it should be codified in law that all increased costs associated with greater strain on infrastructure should be burdened by the companies causing that strain.

Question 17208 — télécommunications

France · National Assembly · 21 July 2026

M. Philippe Bonnecarrère appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre déléguée auprès du ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la souveraineté industrielle, énergétique et numérique, chargée de l'intelligence artificielle et du numérique, sur l'entretien du réseau de fibre optique. Dans le département d'élection de M. le député, l'ensemble des habitants constatent le lamentable entretien de ce réseau. Outre le fait que ce déploiement est intervenu dans le cadre d'une DSP par voie aérienne, de nombreux poteaux penchent lamentablement le long des routes, parfois maintenus par des câbles eux-mêmes détendus ou pendants. Il serait souhaitable de connaître exactement les obligations de maintenance des opérateurs de téléphonie. Un communiqué de « Départements de France » alerte sur un risque d'effondrement des réseaux numériques et appelle à une remise à plat du modèle économique. Au regard de l'utilisation intensive d' internet par les Français et des chiffres d'affaires réalisés, il est incompréhensible que la maintenance des réseaux ne puisse être correctement assurée. Il lui demande s'il existe une évaluation précise de la situation, quel contrôle est exercé par l'ARCEP, comment peut être assurée une maintenance correcte du réseau de fibre optique dans des délais raisonnables pour les usagers, quelles sont les obligations des différentes parties prenantes, comment se finance ce réseau qui a par ailleurs fait l'objet d'importantes subventions publiques et, enfin, quelle est l'efficacité de l'action publique en ce domaine.

Ban AI data centres from being built.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 19 July 2026

AI data centres cause noise pollution, which is harmful for both humans and nature. Large data centres can use up to 5 million gallons of water PER DAY, which could have drastic effects on local water supplies. We need to stop this before it starts. Don’t build AI data centres. We survived just fine without generative AI and it is not necessary in day to day use. Data centres cause health and environmental issues that are simply not worth the gains. AI data centres replace greenery with huge machines which disrupt local ecosystems, they are not necessary.

Stop the rapid expansion of AI data centres in the UK

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 July 2026

This petition is calling on the UK Government to protect our communities and countrysides by stopping big tech firms from building AI data centres on our land. According to the BBC, there are almost 100 new data centres planned for construction in the next 5 years, with some expected to cover as much as 540,000 square metres. It is no secret that these data centres are contributing to the climate crisis, using massive amounts of water and emitting both air and noise pollution, so we are asking the UK Government to re-prioritise, listen to our communities and put a stop to the construction of these data centres.
