Peter Lewis urges Albanese to weigh AI data centres against creators' copyright
Overview
Peter Lewis writes in The Guardian that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese must balance the AI data centre plans against the copyright protections of creators.
He reports that Anthropic has pitched training AI models in Australia using renewable-powered data centres, and that the government is weighing copyright law changes sought by AI firms.
Lewis says creators argue that relaxing copyright would make Australia a haven for data-washing, the practice of using copyrighted material without permission and then obscuring its origin. He urges clear labelling of AI-generated content and shared benefits for human creative work.
