Senator Pocock Tables Document on AI Copyright Terms in Australia
What happened
Independent Senator David Pocock tabled a document titled “AI on Australian Terms” in the Senate on September 15. The document outlines two approaches for AI copyright, allowing rights holders to block their work from AI training using digital protections. The options include either using a central administrator to distribute payments or allowing AI companies to train after meeting a licensing quota.
