Labor to hear from OpenAI, Microsoft, News Corp in fresh round of AI copyright talks
Attorney-General Michelle Rowland will hear from more than 70 corporate and creative groups as Labor kicks off the next phase of the AI copyright fight.
Labor will kick off the second phase of a heavily contested battle over Australian copyright law in the coming days, as executives from the world’s largest tech and media companies jostle to influence possible reforms.
On Tuesday, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland will bring together more than 70 tech, media and entertainment companies, along with other groups, as part of a Copyright and AI Reference Group aimed at discussing potential reforms.
The talks will hear from OpenAI, Microsoft, News Corp and Google, among others, and are expected to walk executives through reforms currently being considered by the Albanese government, according to people familiar with the process.
These policy ideas are expected to be included in a consultation paper set to be distributed shortly after the reference group concludes its discussions.
