UK campaigners who beat AI copyright plan warn Australia

Campaigners who halted the UK’s opt-out AI training plan warn Australia against adopting a similar model, citing public opposition and the UK’s 3% support for opt-out. Australian AI firms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, have requested regulatory changes, while Attorney-General Michelle Rowland’s office continues consultations to give creators control and fair payment. The UK’s campaign, led by Beeban Kidron and Ed Newton-Rex, demonstrated that public sentiment favors compensating creators for AI training.
