Australian government accused of weakening copyright protections for AI companies
Proposals would give AI firms default access to Australian creatives' works, critics say, following OpenAI meetings with Labor ministers.
The Albanese government is considering easing copyright protections to allow AI companies default access to Australian creatives' works as part of efforts to attract tech investment, according to proposals revealed as OpenAI executives met with Labor ministers.
OpenAI warned that Australia's current copyright laws prevent the company from training models locally, according to the source. Critics including independent senator David Pocock have accused the government of sacrificing creators' interests to secure American tech investment.
