Major media outlets are pushing back against AI developers who train large language models on copyrighted journalism without financial compensation.
In a bold stand against aggressive AI training practices, Australia’s ABC has officially rejected the proposed AI copyright carveout schemes. Corporate executives firmly believe that the network’s extensive digital archives and historical journalism pieces have already been thoroughly scraped by automated web crawlers without permission. Instead of complying with belated “opt-out” mechanisms offered by tech conglomerates, the broadcaster is demanding retrospective licensing infrastructure and immediate financial compensation for intellectual property abuse.
