By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

A global music industry body has warned Australia against weakening copyright laws to accommodate AI companies, stating it would be a "disaster for creativity." The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) expressed concern that Australia might agree to demands for easier access to copyrighted material for AI training, a move that has been rejected in other nations. IFPI CEO Victoria Oakley urged Australia not to become the "weakest link" by compromising its cultural output for the promises of AI firms, emphasizing that such a decision would impact global creativity.
