Australia Closer to Protecting Copyright from AI (Win for Creatives?)
Manage episode 516834401 series 3689191
There's a disconnect in the conversation about AI regulation. While gov't focuses on labeling AI-generated output (like deepfakes), creative professionals are concerned about the copyrighted input used to train these models without permission or compensation.
You'll learn:
- the latest AI content labeling laws in India, China, and the EU.
- breaking news from Australia, which is rejecting a "fair use" style exemption for AI training data.
- difference between government focus (labeling, misinformation) and creative pro focus (unauthorized data scraping).
- about the 82+ copyright lawsuits filed against AI companies.
