"Leaked documents from a government proposal show that the Albanese government is considering reversing the fundamental rights of Australians under copyright law.
The proposal refers to an “opt-out model”. This would give AI companies permission to train on the open internet here in Australia. Every family photo you ever posted, every small business website, every website would be fair game for AI companies unless you choose to opt out.
Right now, under Australian law, a company has to ask for permission if it wants to use your content. This proposal would mean it doesn’t. It would put the onus on the individual to opt out – through a mechanism that hasn’t yet been proven to work. And it would give AI companies rights to your content until you choose to say no. This flips the legal burden on to the individual. It means that our legal system would serve the interests of AI companies first."
