Artists Demand Copyright Protection from AI | Melbourne News
Description
Australian musicians are rallying Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to reject any copyright-compromising AI deals, warning that unauthorized use of their music to train AI models threatens the entire music industry. Artists including Hannah Joy and Bernard Fanning — both backed by the PM — fear their work is being exploited without consent or payment, with some discovering their back catalogs already scraped. While a proposed tech investment deal offers funding in exchange for looser rules, Senator David Pocock calls it a “dirty deal.” The artists argue that protecting creators is vital to preserving Australia’s cultural heritage and that AI shouldn’t come at the cost of human creativity. They’re urging the government to stand firm and ensure fair compensation — because music matters, and artists deserve to be protected.
