Australian creators protest proposed AI copyright exemption, fearing lost income and cultural harm.
Australian artists and tech companies are locked in a heated debate over a proposed copyright exemption allowing AI firms to train on Australian content without permission, as creators like Thomas Kenneally and Briggs testify before a parliamentary inquiry.
The Productivity Commission’s recommendation for a "text and data mining" exception has sparked concerns over threats to livelihoods and cultural sovereignty, while the Tech Council of Australia supports the move, offering opt-out mechanisms and content deals.
Critics, including Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young, call it "grand theft," accusing tech firms of pushing for free access, though the government insists it won’t weaken copyright protections.
The outcome could shape how creators are compensated in the AI era.
