Pocock says Labor easing copyright protections for AI datacentre investment would throw creatives ‘under the bus’

Labor is considering changes to copyright laws that would allow AI companies to use Australian creatives' works without permission. This move would give AI companies easier access to data, which they say is necessary for local investment and training models. However, creatives fear this would undermine their rights and livelihoods, with some arguing it would be a betrayal of their trust. If implemented, this change could have significant implications for the creative industry and the economy.

Why it matters

The Australian government's proposal to ease copyright protections for AI datacentre investment may harm creatives. This could lead to a negative impact on the Australian tech industry.
