✍ 📰 Ronald Mizen / The Australian Financial Review https://lnkd.in/e-3JHBuq Interview with ICMP's Director General John Phelan on 🇦🇺 proposals to allow AI companies to train on creative works and being pushed hard by OpenAI, Anthropic and others: 🗣️ “What decision makers in Australia are actually being asked to do is essentially legitimise larceny. That is what a statutory mechanism for AI companies would do."
