Australian musicians urge PM to protect copyright from AI data scraping

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Australian musicians are urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to protect their copyright against AI companies seeking to use their work for model training. These artists, some of whom are favorites of Albanese, express concern that proposed legislation could weaken copyright laws, allowing companies to scrape creative content without consent or compensation. They argue that this practice is unfair and could disadvantage Australian artists, emphasizing the need for new laws to address technological changes and ensure fair compensation for creators. AI
