OpenAI and Anthropic Urge Australia to Ease AI Copyright Restrictions for Model Training
OpenAI and Anthropic have urged Australia to reconsider its ban on using the country's copyrighted creative content for AI model training. Both companies propose a limited exemption that balances protecting artists' rights with encouraging investment, suggesting conditional approvals tied to supporting Australian creators. Australia plans to implement broad AI and data centre regulations next year but has ruled out copyright exemptions, effectively restricting training by mostly US-based AI firms. The companies submitted these views to a parliamentary inquiry amid global efforts to regulate AI growth.
