Music publishers say AI firms trained on Australian artists' works without pay
Overview
The International Confederation of Music Publishers says AI models have already been trained on works by Australian artists, including Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave, without compensation.
Its managing director, John Phelan, says tech companies are trying to "strong-arm" Australian policymakers into weakening copyright law. The group says Google's Gemini reproduced lyrics from Minogue, G-Flip and Cave.
The ICMP also says none of 61 other countries considering copyright changes has adopted a commercial text and data mining exception. Those claims come from the ICMP and have not been independently verified in the report.
