Sally Scales says AI is stealing Indigenous Australian art and selling it as "Temu slop"
AIPitjantjatjara artist Sally Scales says AI is taking First Nations art and turning it into "Temu slop," calling it "a theft" of cultural knowledge and of artists' agency. Nava says AI-generated "Aboriginal-style" designs sold as Indigenous work cause cultural and economic harm, and Prof Kathy Bowrey and Oliver Bown have proposed a Copyright Plus framework requiring AI companies to disclose data sources.
