Briggs warns Australia will struggle to ‘get the genie back in the bottle’ if it doesn’t protect creatives from AI theft | Productivity Commission
Since the Productivity Commission calls the creative community not to allow the government not to allow major technology companies to train AI models, it is under fire to not consult artists or to model the impact of an important advice in the AI report.
The first nations rapper Adam Briggs said that if Australian companies allow Australian companies to reach Australian creativity without paying a fair fee, it would be difficult to return to the bottle ”.
“Why is it a radical idea that artists should be compensated for their work?”
At a hearing for the national cultural policy investigation in Canberra, the senators broke the commission and accused the artists of the “shaking the white flag” on the protection of AI.

Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson condemned the commission and accused of “abandoning creative industries, by writing that it was not“ realistic ”to stop the use of Australian data to train productive AI models abroad.
Henderson said, “You put it to you, you shake the white flag instead of standing for our creative industries; you say that it is not realistic that you can stop it. It is worth protecting the copyright in this country.”
“Where is the benefit of scraping the work of Australian artists by AI?”
The productivity commissioner Julie Abramson defended the report and said that the body was a “open mind ve to its policy approaches, including license agreements for artists, and received more than 400 applications from the final report.
Uz We consult exactly on this issue. One of the aims of our intermediate report is to receive feedback on these issues. ”
Productivity commissioner Stephen King added that Australia’s existing copyright laws are not suitable for the purpose of the AI age.
“Currently, the problem is that when the copyright material is used to train AI engines abroad, Australian advertisers generally do not benefit from the benefits… and Australia cannot benefit from the development here.”
In August, the Productivity Commission issued its temporary report on the use of AI to the Copyright Law with a Text and Data Mining (TDM) exemption with the proposal to apply and allowed technology companies to use copyrights to train productive AI models.
The Commission has announced in the investigation that it does not consult the creative sector or has modeled the effect of this advice or the benefit of the industry in the economy.
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Yung said that the body was “wrongly read the value of the creative industry”.
“You consulted Mastercard, you consulted Microsoft, you consulted Meta, you consulted Openai… You consulted many other players, but you did not consult creative industries,” he said.
“Who… I am really interested in saying that this is a problem, that it should be exemption, or that copyright is a problem.”
The government is considering the approach to the regulation around AI and said that there was no plan to change the copyright law.
Anthony said that the government of Albane was “supporting art” and “copyright and intellectual property is important”.
The artists involved in the investigation called on the government not to consider their exemptions.
Holly Rankin, known by Jack River, said that the license agreements are the only way to compensate for artists, and that agreements with organizations such as Newscorp, Guardian and AAP are already in force.
“A [TDM] The exception of the Copyright Law is not a technical setting or a small change, but a basic dismantling of our copyright system that scares the theft of the Australian culture. ”
“Real is simple, technology companies can pay for licenses, they just don’t want.”
