TechEd Husic urges Labor to take a tougher line on AI companies

Labor MP Ed Husic says weakening copyright law to benefit artificial intelligence companies would go against his party’s ethos. He calls on colleagues to impose stricter rules on major technology firms, warning that allowing them to regulate themselves is doomed to fail. His comments come before Anthony Albanese’s major speech on artificial intelligence. The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance is also urging the government to introduce tougher copyright protections so creative works cannot be used to train AI models.
